I went with a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Angmering yesterday. After carefully reading the Terms I seeI am liable for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint an on-line conveyancing brokerage advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Angmering?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract those conveyances that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such offerings tend not to protect you from disbursements such your Angmering conveyancing search fees.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Angmering and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Angmering. Having lived in Angmering for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Angmering differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Angmering come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Angmering usually acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Angmering or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Angmering prior to retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders may not grant a mortgage on such a premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can look into this 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 Angmering. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Angmering to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
