Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stevenage

My partner and I have lately purchased a house in Stevenage. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Stevenage?

The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Stevenage. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a form known as a SPIF. If the information provided is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Stevenage.

When will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Stevenage and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?

Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Stevenage you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stevenage)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

A relative suggested that if I am buying in Stevenage I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Stevenage conveyancing searches. It is a large document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Stevenage around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Stevenage Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Stevenage Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Stevenage.

How does conveyancing in Stevenage differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Stevenage come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Stevenage typically buy the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Stevenage or who has acted in the same development.
