Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wedmore

I instructed a Wedmore based lawyer for our conveyancing in Wedmore last week. Upon checking the Terms it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based conveyancing company promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Wedmore?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover the cases that abort. Do bear in mind that these promotions generally do not protect you from disbursements such as Wedmore conveyancing search charges.

My wife and I are acquiring a new build flat in Wedmore and my lawyer is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I have no desire to delay deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I just acquired a house at auction in Wedmore. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?

Now that you are to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you now have to retain a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you now have a tight a fixed date to complete the transaction. An auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Wedmore. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Wedmore?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I have been advised by my solicitor that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Wedmore?

The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the primary reason for delay in Wedmore conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Wedmore.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Wedmore?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Wedmore. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Me and my husband have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancers then we will incur a further fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to instruct a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have asked Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?

Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we may be able to find you a property lawyer in Wedmore on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
