As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Frenchay what’s the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Frenchay

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Frenchay and elsewhere in Bristol is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion your lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Frenchay is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Every so often a potential adversary may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of obstruction in Frenchay conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Frenchay.

How does conveyancing in Frenchay differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Frenchay approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Frenchay tend to buy 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 property lawyers 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 Frenchay or who has acted in the same development.
