Please could you vouch for a Santander accepted Clayhall conveyancing conveyancer that can complete within a short deadline? Am I best advised to choose a local Clayhall practice or a factory type comparison site?
We would be happy to suggest some excellent Clayhall conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the high street in Clayhall. Go in to two or three law practices and request to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Discuss your requirements together with your reasons and ask for a commitment on your deadline. Appoint the lawyer that appears most efficient.
My property lawyer in Clayhall is not on the Aldermore Conveyancing Panel. Can I still use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Aldermore panel?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Clayhall lawyers but Aldermore will need to instruct a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal charges and result in frustration.
- Find a new lawyer to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Aldermore approved.
- Persuade your Aldermore based solicitor to try to join the Aldermore panel
My partner and I are selling our house in Clayhall and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Clayhall. Having lived in Clayhall for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 ailment)
I have justbecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Clayhall for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest 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 Clayhall conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Clayhall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Clayhall approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Clayhall usually 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 used to new build conveyancing in Clayhall or who has acted in the same development.
