I am soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Wiveliscombe but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Clydesdale are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Your solicitor that is on a Clydesdale conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Clydesdale of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Wiveliscombe.
I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Wiveliscombe. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to coordinate?
After the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s became a mandatory part of moving house. An EPC should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Wiveliscombe conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local energy assessors
We are aiming to move property in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Wiveliscombe. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your property agent however this can only occur after the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Wiveliscombe or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Wiveliscombe.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Wiveliscombe solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am buying a house and the solicitor has mentioned Chancel Repair to which the house could be obligated to contribute to because it falls into the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this really warranted for conveyancing in Wiveliscombe
Unless a prior acquisition of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you could take it that solicitors conducting conveyancing in Wiveliscombe to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
How does conveyancing in Wiveliscombe differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wiveliscombe contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Wiveliscombe tend to purchase the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wiveliscombe or who has acted in the same development.
