Having sold my house in Seven Kings last September but my buyer keeps calling every few hours complaining that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer is duty bound to deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also confirm that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements specific conveyancing in Seven Kings.
My partner and I are selling our property in Seven Kings and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Seven Kings. Having lived in Seven Kings for many years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Seven Kings differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Seven Kings come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Seven Kings 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Seven Kings or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey done on a property in Seven Kings in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a mortgage on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Seven Kings. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Seven Kings especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Seven Kings.
