We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Rugeley endorsed on your site but stumbled across alternative quotes via the web seem less pricey – how come?
One can find hundreds of conveyancing outfits advertising at first sight what seems to be very low prices. We would urge you to give due consideration about how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to take 'cheap' risks in relation to the standard of the conveyancing. Many of them list a budget fee to entice you but conceal supplemental charges in the fine print..
We were just about to sign contracts for a garden flat in Rugeley. We have hit a snag. The loan offer with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society expires on 5/10/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 7/10/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The best person to deal with your concern is your solicitors who should determine if he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, seller’s lawyers, selling agents or conceivably all three given what has gone on in your transaction to date.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a Rugeley based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the likelihood is that give you one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the bank and determine if they make available a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Rugeley.
My wife and I are intent on selling our home in Rugeley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Rugeley. We have lived in Rugeley for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Rugeley is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Rugeley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rugeley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rugeley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
