Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Selston

I hired a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Selston last week. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose an on-line firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Selston?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset those cases that do not go ahead. Also remember that such schemes rarely cover outlay for instance Selston conveyancing search expenses.

When will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Selston and do I need to attend the lawyers office?

If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Selston you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Selston)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Having invested time reading online forums for a recommended solicitor in Selston, most advise that I must use a CQS accredited lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in home moving process, trusted by some of the UK's biggest lenders. In 2011-12 the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Building Societies Association (BSA). The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Selston is one of the many areas in England and Wales where there are CQS lawyers.

I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Selston. Will the conveyancer arrange the energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?

After the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments remained a required component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Selston conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local assessors

I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Selston solicitor - who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Selston surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Co-operative have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Selston has been agreed to, what happens next?

The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Co-operative or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation. Co-operative will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Co-operative will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Selston.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Selston I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Selston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
