The Manningtree conveyancing firm handling our Manningtree conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he is obliged to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action correct?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of obstruction in Manningtree conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Manningtree.
How does conveyancing in Manningtree differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Manningtree come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Manningtree 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Manningtree or who has acted in the same development.
Is it best to use a Manningtree conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am buying? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities but his firm is located a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a local Manningtree conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were content that should trump using an unfamiliar Manningtree conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Manningtree based.
I am planning to sell my parking space which is on a separate legal title at HMLR and hope to get 22k, to clear debts. There is a mortgage with Nottingham. Can you suggest a cheapish conveyancer as the standard £800-1000 diminishes the return somewhat. Although I live in Manningtree I dont need to instruct a Manningtree solicitor.
