We instructed a high street firm for our conveyancing in Woolton last week. After carefully reading the official terms of business I seewe are liable for costs even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to choose an on-line lawyer who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Woolton?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to neutralise the transactions that fail to complete. Dont forget that these offerings generally do not protect you from outlay by way of example Woolton conveyancing search costs.

Following your house sale your lawyer should forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the mortgage has been paid off to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Woolton.

The Woolton conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Woolton have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel and my family Woolton lawyer was not. I paid them money on account. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would 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 Santander 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.

A relative advised me that where I am buying in Woolton I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

How does conveyancing in Woolton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Woolton come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Woolton usually 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Woolton or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Woolton is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Woolton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Woolton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woolton may determine 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.
