I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Williton. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A couple of days later, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Williton I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Williton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Williton
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Williton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
Me and my wife have today had an offer accepted on our first house in Williton, and need to get solicitors appointed. I have used the numerous rating based websites and the quotes are from all across the country. Is it essential to have a Williton conveyancing practitioner local to our prospective new home? We are willing to do all the communicating electronically, but I assume at some point we may need to physically go into the lawyer's office to sign papers?
On the whole there is no need to physically visit the office of your conveyancing practitioner, they can post any relevant contracts to you, which you can sign and send back. Many home movers nevertheless opt to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it is not a prerequisite for conveyancing in Williton.
