Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Frinton and Walton?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Frinton and Walton your solicitor will request that you put them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this will be needed shortly before contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due will be payable a few days prior to the completion date.
I am thinking of remortgaging my property in Frinton and Walton, does my lawyer have to be on the Coventry BS Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, but Coventry BS 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 transaction.
We are selling our house in Frinton and Walton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Frinton and Walton conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Frinton and Walton. Having lived in Frinton and Walton for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Frinton and Walton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Frinton and Walton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Frinton and Walton tend to buy 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 Frinton and Walton or who has acted in the same development.
