We chose a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Bitterne today. Going through the Terms it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint a web based solicitor practice promising no move no charge conveyancing in Bitterne?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to neutralise the cases that do not proceed. Also remember that such offerings generally do not protect you from expenses such your Bitterne conveyancing search fees.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Bitterne last November yet the purchaser is texting me to moan that their conveyancer needs to hear from mylawyer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your sale your solicitor is duty bound to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps peculiar conveyancing in Bitterne.
We are downsizing from our home in Bitterne and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bitterne. Having lived in Bitterne for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Bitterne. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bitterne
-
Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply a car parking plan. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

Why is it not possible to complete our conveyancing in Bitterne on a public holiday?
Because on completion the money needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and seller's conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only happen on a working day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
