Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Winnersh

IfI was to buy a simple residential homein Winnersh mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Winnersh?

The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the Winnersh conveyancing searches. A conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the vendors property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage but it won't be a lot.

The Winnersh conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Winnersh have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my previous Winnersh lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

How does conveyancing in Winnersh differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Winnersh come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Winnersh tend to buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Winnersh or who has acted in the same development.
