Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Waterbeach

My husband and I are looking to acquire a property in Waterbeach and are in fact using a Waterbeach conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. Birmingham Midshires have this evening contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Waterbeach lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?

If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Waterbeach solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could affect a commercial land in Waterbeach?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Waterbeach will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Waterbeach. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Waterbeach.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Waterbeach it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Waterbeach I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Waterbeach in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I was pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Waterbeach to select a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your services over and above a competitor’s?

We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
