I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Abbots Langley. I I would like to check whether they are on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is contact your solicitor and enquire if they can act for the bank. Otherwise you should get in touch with Godiva Mortgages Ltd who may be able to confirm.
How does conveyancing in Abbots Langley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Abbots Langley contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Abbots Langley tend to purchase 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 property lawyers 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 Abbots Langley or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Abbots Langley is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Abbots Langley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Abbots Langley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Abbots Langley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Am I right to be concerned by estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Abbots Langley conveyancing firm?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all put forward conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that many banks specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
