Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Greystones

I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Greystones. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Greystones. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Greystones conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it may be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where houses with apparent issues can still throw up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Greystones should be able to give you some practical guidance concerning this.

My wife and I are purchasing a flat in Greystones. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being pedantic. The Greystones solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have instructed a Greystones solicitor having checked that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Greystones surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

My colleague advised me that where I am purchasing in Greystones I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is usually included in the estimate for your Greystones conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Greystones around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Greystones Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Greystones.

How does conveyancing in Greystones differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Greystones contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Greystones usually 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 property lawyers 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 Greystones or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Greystones ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks may not grant a loan on a flying freehold premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check via 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 Greystones. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
