What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ventnor? Why is this being asked of me?

Ventnor conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners accross the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to check the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

How does conveyancing in Ventnor differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Ventnor approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Ventnor tend to buy the land, 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 Ventnor or who has acted in the same development.

Fees for conveyancing in Ventnor differ, so it's advisable to obtain at least four estimates from different solicitors. Dont forget to clarify that the costs are assured not to to be inflated.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Ventnor?

Conveyancing - in Ventnor or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to remedy the problems prior to you move in.
