Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wooburn Green

I am approaching an exchange on a house in Wooburn Green and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

The property lawyer is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

A colleague suggested that if I am buying in Wooburn Green I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

I have justbeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Wooburn Green for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wooburn Green conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Wooburn Green differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Wooburn Green contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Wooburn Green typically 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 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 Wooburn Green or who has acted in the same development.
