Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Eastleigh. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Having exchanged you must retain a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the transaction. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer requires. In the case of leasehold property the auction papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You must hand this to the lawyer working for you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Eastleigh conveyancing practitioners are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Kent Reliance?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Kent Reliance conducted the valuation? Have you advised Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Eastleigh agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Eastleigh. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Eastleigh conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
How does conveyancing in Eastleigh differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Eastleigh contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Eastleigh usually acquire the real estate, 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 Eastleigh or who has acted in the same development.
