The conveyancer who dealt with my last purchase has sent a quote for just over a thousand pound for no sale no fee conveyancing in Biddenham. I’m selling a modern house for £300,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Biddenham?

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Biddenham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Biddenham. Having lived in Biddenham for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

I have justbecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Biddenham for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Biddenham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Biddenham approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Biddenham usually purchase 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 Biddenham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Biddenham is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Biddenham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Biddenham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
