I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Fenstanton. What can I do to speed up matters?
In the event that you are under pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they may have transacted otherhouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Fenstanton conveyancing solicitor. Second, double check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is said that nearly one in five of Fenstanton conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being held up by as much as 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home sales annually. Most Fenstanton conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Fenstanton?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Fenstanton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Fenstanton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Fenstanton approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Fenstanton 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Fenstanton or who has acted in the same development.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Fenstanton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
