Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Castle Donington

We instructed a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Castle Donington yesterday. Going through the terms of engagement I notewe are liable for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line lawyer offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Castle Donington?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover the transactions that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these schemes generally do not protect you from disbursements for instance Castle Donington conveyancing search fees.

AssumingI were to purchase a straightforward homein Castle Donington mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Castle Donington?

Any savings you would make will be isolated to the Castle Donington conveyancing searches. Your conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the vendors property lawyer, SDLT return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.

How does conveyancing in Castle Donington differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Castle Donington approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Castle Donington tend to 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Castle Donington or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Castle Donington before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to give a mortgage on such a premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Castle Donington. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Castle Donington especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Castle Donington.
