In the event thatI were to buy a straightforward homein Ilford mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Ilford?
Any savings you would achieve would be isolated to the disbursement for searches. The conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your vendors solicitor, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.
Completed the sale of my flat in Ilford last November yet the purchaser is calling me complaining that their solicitor needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your lawyer is obliged to send the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Ilford.
We are selling our house in Ilford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ilford. Having lived in Ilford for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must 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)
How does conveyancing in Ilford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ilford come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Ilford tend to 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Ilford or who has acted in the same development.
