I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Bloxham. Almost all the appartments are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Bloxham?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Bloxham conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Bloxham.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent but this can only take place once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Bloxham or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Bloxham.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Bloxham solicitor on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Bloxham conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Bloxham surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
How does conveyancing in Bloxham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bloxham come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Bloxham typically buy 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bloxham or who has acted in the same development.
