Are the Southbourne conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Santander conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Santander?
Southbourne conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Santander directly.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Southbourne and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Southbourne lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Southbourne. We have lived in Southbourne for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Southbourne is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Southbourne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Southbourne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Southbourne 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.
Given that I will soon part with 450k on a house in Southbourne I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thehouse move before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Southbourne.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a matter number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Southbourne should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Southbourne. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
