Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ryhope

A friend informed me that in purchasing a property in Ryhope there may be various restrictions preventing external changes to the property. Is this right?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Ryhope. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Virgin Money be concerned?

Given that your lender is Virgin Money your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money.

I have instructed a Ryhope conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Ryhope postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Ryhope.

How does conveyancing in Ryhope differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Ryhope contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Ryhope usually acquire the real estate, 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 Ryhope or who has acted in the same development.

My partner and I hope to purchase our 1st property in Ryhope. Conveyancing solicitor has been selected. The mortgage adviser pointed out that a survey is not needed as the house was only constructed 22 years ago.

At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is over ten years old the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. They will highlight any apparent problems and recommend further investigation if relevant. Where there are any signs of material issues get a comprehensive structural survey.
