Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chepstow

We're in Chepstow, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

My aunt informed me that in purchasing a property in Chepstow there could be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to a property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Chepstow which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Chepstow should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nottingham, do Chepstow lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We were going to get a AIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Chepstow solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Chepstow solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Chepstow and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Chepstow. Having lived in Chepstow for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

I have been advised by a number of estate agents in Chepstow to find a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than another?
