We chose a Wootton Bridge based lawyer for my conveyancing in Wootton Bridge last week. Upon checking the fine print it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and use a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Wootton Bridge?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to neutralise those transactions that abort. Dont forget that these promotions tend not to cover disbursements such as Wootton Bridge conveyancing search costs.

At what point does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Wootton Bridge and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?

That being said, the firms we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email.

Should my conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wootton Bridge.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Wootton Bridge. Some people will purchase a property in Wootton Bridge, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Wootton Bridge. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the owner to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Wootton Bridge I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wootton Bridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Wootton Bridge. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Wootton Bridge who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Wootton Bridge conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
