Willinstructing a Ventnor conveyancing firm make my purchase more efficient?

Existing third party relationships is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Ventnor law firms often have long term relationships with lenders and agents, local authorities, surveyors and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Having a well rounded insight into the local area also helps too.

Please help. My Ventnor solicitor is advising me that he is legally obliged toconduct Ventnor conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Lloydsconveyancing panel. These Ventnor searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Ventnor conveyancing searches.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Ventnor last October but our buyer keeps telephoning every few hours complaining that her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

Where appropriate, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Ventnor.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent however this can only take place after the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected.

I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Ventnor. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

Can I be sure that the Ventnor conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Ventnor getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.

How does conveyancing in Ventnor differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ventnor contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Ventnor tend to acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Ventnor or who has acted in the same development.

How straightforward is it to use your search app to select a conveyancing practitioner in Ventnor on the approved list for my mortgage?
