I am looking for value for money property lawyer. Should I go for for an internet conveyancer or a local Totland conveyancing lawyer?
On the whole conveyancing lawyers in your area will have good alliances with your local authority, which can help with the Totland conveyancing searches that your lawyer will require on your transaction. It can only be a plus if they have good connections with the Land Registry in your area Totland, other property lawyers in the location and Totland selling agents.
How does conveyancing in Totland differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Totland contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Totland typically acquire 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Totland or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Totland prior to instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks will not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Totland. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Totland especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Totland.
I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Totland to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site over and above another?
We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Totland
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Totland conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
