Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cheddar

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Virgin Money, do Cheddar property lawyers incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I've digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Cheddar solicitor - who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Cheddar postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Cheddar.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Cheddar agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Cheddar. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society started?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Cheddar conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Cheddar.

What can a local search inform me about the house my wife and I buying in Cheddar?

Cheddar conveyancing often commences with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance Searchflow The local search plays an important role in many a Cheddar conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search should supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.

How does conveyancing in Cheddar differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Cheddar contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Cheddar usually acquire the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Cheddar or who has acted in the same development.
