I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Fillongley. I have resided for the last 15 years in Fillongley. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Fillongley conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it may be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes premises with no practical issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Fillongley will provide you some helpful advice in this regard.
At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Fillongley and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Fillongley you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Fillongley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My wife and I are selling our property in Fillongley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Fillongley conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Fillongley. We have lived in Fillongley for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with 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 recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Fillongley for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see 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 Fillongley conveyancing specialists.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Fillongley is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Fillongley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Fillongley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Fillongley 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 premises.
