Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Adlington

The owners have very pushy sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?

This kind of arrangement is not the norm in Adlington, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the financial benefit that your vendor may gain by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.

Are the BSA intent on creating a online directory to list firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Adlington?

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Adlington

It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest Adlington conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Adlington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is chiefly there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Adlington building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Adlington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

As long as the property lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
