Having sold my house in Strood last March yet the purchaser is whats apping me complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

After completion of your sale your solicitor is committed to deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your conveyancer should also confirm that the mortgage has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion requirements specific conveyancing in Strood.

Do I need to pop into the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Strood so that I can attend their offices if required.

These days conveyancing panel lawyers for banks carry out their work through the post, internet or over the phone. This enables them to carry out the legal work for your home move regardless of where you live in England or Wales. However you should see if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if needed.

I need some expedited conveyancing in Strood as I am under a deadline to sign on the dotted line inside one month. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not obtaining a home loan you are at free not to do searches although no conveyancer would advise that you don't.

These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know exactly where to look for all the relevant documentation so you may buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. If copies can’t be found, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.

How does conveyancing in Strood differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Strood approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Strood typically purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Strood or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Strood is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Strood are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Strood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Strood may determine 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 residence.
