Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Ammanford. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should retain a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you now have a tight a fixed date to complete the property. An auction property will have an associated auction set of papers. This will include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You need to give this to the conveyancer working for you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Ammanford. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A few days later, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
How does conveyancing in Ammanford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ammanford contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Ammanford 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Ammanford or who has acted in the same development.
