Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shirehampton

I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Shirehampton. Almost all the flats are already sold. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Shirehampton?

If you getting a mortgage, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Shirehampton conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Shirehampton.

Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose impending roadworks that may impact a commercial land in Shirehampton?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Shirehampton will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Shirehampton. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Shirehampton.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Shirehampton it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately can result in delays to Shirehampton commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Shirehampton.

I decided to have a survey done on a property in Shirehampton prior to instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders will not give a mortgage on this type of property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Shirehampton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Shirehampton to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

What does commercial conveyancing in Shirehampton cover?

Shirehampton conveyancing for business premises incorporates a wide range of advice, provided by qualified solicitors, relating to business premises. By way of example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the transfer of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Shirehampton

It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Shirehampton conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.

Our conveyancing in Shirehampton completes next Friday, but the person I am purchasing off has asked to move out 24 hours later at afternoon. Can I accept this?

If you need a mortgage then your lawyer will require that you have vacant possession on Friday - the bank will compel it.
