We selected a Blandford Forum based firm for my conveyancing in Blandford Forum yesterday. Reviewing the small print I noteI am on the hook for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I ditch them and use a web based conveyancing brokerage who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Blandford Forum?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to offset the transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such schemes rarely cover expenditure for instance Blandford Forum conveyancing search charges.
I am acquiring a property for cash in Blandford Forum. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in Blandford Forum. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Blandford Forum conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes houses with apparent issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Blandford Forum will be able to give you some constructive advice in this regard.
How does conveyancing in Blandford Forum differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Blandford Forum approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Blandford Forum usually buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Blandford Forum or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Blandford Forum I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blandford Forum suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Blandford Forum?
Conveyancing - in Blandford Forum or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
