Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Southam?
If you are buying a property in Southam your lawyer will request that you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is requested to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this will be needed shortly before exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.
How does conveyancing in Southam differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Southam come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Southam tend to purchase 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 Southam or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out 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 simple, no chain conveyancing. Southam is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Southam are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Southam you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Southam may decide 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.

My husband and I are purchasing a four room flatin Southam with a residential mortgage from a mortgage company. We have a lawyer in Southam however our lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our lender panel firms or stay with our Southam solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Southam lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The bank home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Southam : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
