I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Braintree. 95% of the flats have already been occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Braintree?
Conveyancing Searches are a vital link in the Braintree conveyancing process. There are a large number of companies conducting Braintree conveyancing searches, as well direct from the local authority. These are generally termed personal search providers and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their information from the local authoritative source.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Braintree last June but our buyer keeps Skype messaging me complaining that their solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your house sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where relevant, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Braintree.
My wife and I are selling our home in Braintree and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Braintree. We have lived in Braintree for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Braintree 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If duplicates can’t be found, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Braintree
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Braintree conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
Finally our conveyancing in Braintree is set to complete on Friday, however the vendors I am buying from wants to vacate on the Saturday PM. Can I agree to this?
You can't complete on a Saturday due to the bank systems aren't operating.
