Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Winsford

When can the exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Winsford and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?

Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Winsford you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Winsford)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

We expect to receive a OIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Winsford solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Winsford solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Winsford. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Co-operative are being difficult. The Winsford solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Co-operative are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial land in Winsford?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Winsford will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Winsford.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Winsford it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in Winsford.

It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Winsford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Winsford

    Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
