I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Do I opt for a web based conveyancer or a local Victoria Dock conveyancing lawyer?
On the whole conveyancing solicitors in your location will benefit from good connections with your local authority, which can help with the Victoria Dock conveyancing searches that your solicitor will inevitably need. It also helps if they enjoy existing relationships with the Local Land Registry Office your area Victoria Dock, other property lawyers in the location and Victoria Dock Estate Agents.
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Victoria Dock. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Given that you are now for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you now have to instruct a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the purchase. Every auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Victoria Dock ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of premises.
