We went with a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Waterlooville recently. Upon checking the official terms of business I notewe are on the hook for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and instruct an internet firm who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Waterlooville?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that these arrangements generally do not cover outlay for instance Waterlooville conveyancing search costs.
It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Waterlooville. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Waterlooville relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
I used Arc property Solicitors several years past for my conveyancing in Waterlooville. Now, I need my files however the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?
Do contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Waterlooville of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously used, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Waterlooville I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Waterlooville for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Waterlooville I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thehouse move before instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor who will be doing your conveyancing in Waterlooville.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a matter number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for your conveyancing in Waterlooville should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
