We are selling our flat in Higham Wood. Does the conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.
We are buying a property and the lawyer has referenced Chancel Repair to which the property could be obligated to contribute to because it falls into the area of such a church. He has mentioned insurance. Is this really necessary for conveyancing in Higham Wood
Unless a previous purchase of the property completed post 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Higham Wood to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
How does conveyancing in Higham Wood differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Higham Wood come to 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 Higham Wood 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 Higham Wood or who has acted in the same development.
