I am intent on selling our home in Sands End and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Sands End lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Sands End. We have lived in Sands End for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have todaybeen informed that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Sands End for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Sands End conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Sands End differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Sands End come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Sands End usually buy the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sands End or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Sands End is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Sands End are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sands End you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sands End may ascertain 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 property.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we use their preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Sands End
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Sands End conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
