We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

Will commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may impact a commercial estate in Port Clarence?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Port Clarence will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Port Clarence.

How does conveyancing in Port Clarence differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Port Clarence contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Port Clarence tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Port Clarence or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey done on a property in Port Clarence prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Port Clarence. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Given that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a two bedroom apartment in Port Clarence I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thehouse move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we recommend - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Port Clarence.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a case reference.
