I went with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Cudham yesterday. Upon checking the Ts and Cs I seewe are responsible for charges even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and use a web based conveyancing brokerage who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Cudham?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover the cases that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these offerings tend not to cover expenses for example Cudham conveyancing search fees.
I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Cudham to sign contracts within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?
In a situation where you are under pressure to complete we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherhouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Cudham conveyancing lawyer. In addition, check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Cudham conveyancing transactions are suspended or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being delayed by almost 21 days. It is believed that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Many Cudham conveyancing firms can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.

Cudham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Barclays directly.
Will our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Cudham.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Cudham. Some people will acquire a house in Cudham, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Cudham. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the owner to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading response. A purchaser’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro search. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.
I have been advised by numerous selling agents in Cudham to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Cudham
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Cudham conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
