What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Frenchay Common? Is this really necessary?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you refuse to supply identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Frenchay Common what would it be?

Do not opt for the lowest Frenchay Common conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Frenchay Common accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Frenchay Common. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Frenchay Common conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Frenchay Common.

I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Frenchay Common for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Frenchay Common conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Frenchay Common differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Frenchay Common approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Frenchay Common usually buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Frenchay Common or who has acted in the same development.
