I chose a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Whitchurch last week. Reviewing the terms of engagement I seewe are responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and select an on-line conveyancing company offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Whitchurch?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise the transactions that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these promotions tend not to cover expenses for example Whitchurch conveyancing search charges.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Whitchurch what would it be?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Whitchurch conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
I am expecting a DIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Whitchurch solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Whitchurch solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
Our sealed bid on a house in Whitchurch has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Whitchurch. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Whitchurch conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Whitchurch.
I require expedited conveyancing in Whitchurch as I am under an ultimatum to exchange contracts within one month. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are are a mortgage free buyer you are at liberty not to do searches although no solicitor would advise that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Whitchurch the following are examples of what can appear and therefore impact future saleability: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Whitchurch ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on such a home.
