Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Coleford

As someone clueless as to the Coleford conveyancing process what is your top tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Coleford

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Coleford or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, selling agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Coleford should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am considering refinancing my flat in Coleford, does my lawyer have to be on the Nottingham Solicitor panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, but Nottingham would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Coleford 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

In today’s world there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know exactly where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you may buy or sell your house without any difficulty. If copies can’t be located, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.

How does conveyancing in Coleford differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Coleford approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Coleford typically purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in Coleford or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Coleford before instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend not issue a loan on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Coleford. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Coleford to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
