That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Rednal)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Should my conveyancer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Rednal.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Rednal. There are those who purchase a property in Rednal, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Rednal. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the owner to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. A buyer’s lawyers may also commission an environmental search. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Rednal differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Rednal come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Rednal typically buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Rednal or who has acted in the same development.
