My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Southam and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Southam. We have lived in Southam for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of 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 Southam differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Southam approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Southam typically acquire the site, 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 Southam or who has acted in the same development.
Taking into account that I am about to spend £400,000 on a house in Southam I wish to talk to a lawyer concerning thetransaction in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
This is something that we recommend - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Southam.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a file reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Southam should be the figure that you end up paying.
How does one remove a departed person's details from the title register for a house in Southam?
Where a Southam property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a sale you would just need to evidence as to the reason the joint proprietor is not included in the conveyance, normally this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing smoother for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased person erased from the title register by submitting an application to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
