We chose a Swansea East based firm for my conveyancing in Swansea East last week. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I seeI am liable for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint an on-line conveyancing brokerage who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Swansea East?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise the conveyances that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that these arrangements rarely cover outlay for example Swansea East conveyancing search fees.
The sellers of the home we are purchasing are using a conveyancing firm in Swansea East who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Exclusivity agreements are agreements binding a property seller and purchaser giving the buyer the sole right to purchase the property within a prescribed time frame. For all intents and purposes, a lock out is a document stating that you should receive a contract at a later time being the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the proprietor may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to using an agreement but you should to check with your solicitor but note that it may result in incurring extra in conveyancing fees. For these reasons these agreements are avoided when it comes to conveyancing in Swansea East.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Swansea East and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Swansea East conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Swansea East. We have lived in Swansea East for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer 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)
The deeds to our house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Swansea East 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
You no longer need to have the physical official documentation to prove you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Swansea East prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to grant a loan on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Swansea East. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Swansea East to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
