My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Woodbridge. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Now that you have exchanged you now have to find a conveyancing practitioner soon as you will have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the purchase. Every auction property should have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your conveyancer will need. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Woodbridge. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Shortly after, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the HSBC 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 HSBC 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 have finally had an offer on an apartment in Woodbridge accepted, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Woodbridge. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Woodbridge conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Woodbridge.
I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of delay in Woodbridge conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Woodbridge.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Woodbridge is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Woodbridge are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Woodbridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woodbridge may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandmother I am disposing of a house in Cardiff but live in Woodbridge. My lawyer (approximately 250 kilometers awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration before completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Woodbridge who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Woodbridge based
There are numerous properties in Woodbridge on unadopted roads. My wife and I are acquiring one such house. What are the pros and cons of buying a property on a privately owned road?
Woodbridge conveyancing solicitors will be well versed in conveyancing propertieson unadopted roads. The property lawyer should investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners make annual payments to maintain the road. Where one exists, the road should be maintained and look better than council owned.
