What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Braintree
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Braintree conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We are buying a victorian detached house in Braintree. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal work on the property involve investigations to determine if these alterations are permitted?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Braintree can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or need the permission of another owner. Certain additions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Braintree. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I require quick conveyancing in Braintree as I have a deadline to exchange contracts inside 3 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
If.Given you are not obtaining a home loan you are at free not to do searches although no conveyancer would advise that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Braintree the following are instances of issues that can be revealed and therefore impact market value: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Braintree is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Braintree are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Braintree you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Braintree may ascertain 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 premises.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we use their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Braintree
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Braintree conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
