Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Yateley

Me and my fiancee are acquiring our first house. Our conveyancer has contact usto ask if we would like to order extra conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Yateley

The extent of Yateley conveyancing searches should be triggered based entirely on the property, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your general appetite to risk. What is important is that you properly understand what information the searches could provide. You may then decide if you consider that you need that information. If in doubt, ask your property lawyer to offer guidance.

Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Yateley?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Yateley your solicitor will ask you place them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this should be asked for shortly ahead of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Yateley?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Yateley agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Yateley. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Barclays going?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Yateley conveyancing search fees, etc).

Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with searches.
