We were about to choose a conveyancing solicitor in Whitchurch found using your comparison tool but have come across alternative fee calculations via the web seem cheaper – how come?

There are a variety of conveyancers marketing what appear to be cut price.

My nephew is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Whitchurch with a mortgage from Coventry BS. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could affect a commercial site in Whitchurch?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Whitchurch will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Whitchurch. The search result provides definitive information 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 Whitchurch.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Whitchurch it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could result in delays to Whitchurch commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Whitchurch.

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

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Whitchurch. 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…’

How does conveyancing in Whitchurch differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Whitchurch contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Whitchurch usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Whitchurch or who has acted in the same development.

I am downsizing from my property. My former solicitors has retired. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Whitchurch if that makes things easier.
