I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a local conveyancing solicitor in Wroughton?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers should you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender to check if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Wroughton.
We are intent on selling our house in Wroughton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Wroughton lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wroughton. Having lived in Wroughton for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Wroughton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wroughton approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Wroughton typically purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wroughton or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Wroughton in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can investigate further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wroughton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Wroughton to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
