I went with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Thames View recently. Reviewing the official terms of business I seewe are on the hook for charges even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to select an on-line solicitor practice promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Thames View?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover those transactions that do not proceed. Dont forget that such deals tend not to protect you from expenses for instance Thames View conveyancing search costs.
We have rather brash sellers who has recommended a lock out contract with a deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Lock out agreements are agreements binding a property owner and purchaser giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the premises for a set period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out agreement is a contract stating that you should have a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale. It is generally used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the owner may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many pros and cons to having an agreement but you should to check with your solicitor but beware that it may result in costing you more in conveyancing fees. In light of these reasons these agreements are rare in relation to conveyancing in Thames View.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Thames View. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may still be with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Thames View relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
We're in Thames View, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Thames View for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Thames View conveyancing specialists.
