I decided to go with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Fawley last week. Reviewing the small print I seeI am responsible for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and select an on-line firm promising no move no charge conveyancing in Fawley?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset those conveyances that do not go ahead. Please beware that these deals tend not to protect you from disbursements e.g. Fawley conveyancing search fees.

I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out property in Fawley by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

It is unwise to provide notice for your tenancy unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, speak to your solicitor and request that they seek the assistance the sellers lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will aim to achieve

I own a freehold house in Fawley yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Fawley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Fawley but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

How does conveyancing in Fawley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Fawley contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Fawley tend to purchase 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 Fawley or who has acted in the same development.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
