Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Yarmouth

I am intent on selling our property in Yarmouth and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Yarmouth conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Yarmouth. We have lived in Yarmouth for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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 illness)

How does conveyancing in Yarmouth differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Yarmouth approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Yarmouth tend to purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in Yarmouth or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Yarmouth is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Yarmouth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Yarmouth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Yarmouth 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 premises.

I am downsizing from my property. My past lawyers have shut. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Yarmouth if that makes things easier.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Yarmouth

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Yarmouth conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will give their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.

What makes a Yarmouth lease problematic?

Leasehold conveyancing in Yarmouth is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    Insurance obligations

You may have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Virgin Money, and Clydesdale all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

    The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold reversion is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the lessees benefit from control and even though a managing agent is usually employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments? How long is the Lease?
