I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Henley On Thames. The vast majority the appartments have already been sold. Is it really necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Henley On Thames?
You would be taking a significant risk in failing carrying out Henley On Thames conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would strongly advise in the strongest possible terms that you have them. Where speed and driving down costs are primary concerns you should consider with your solicitor about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you

This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is payable against the total price then this will be asked for shortly in advance of contracts are exchanged.

I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Henley On Thames. The Henley On Thames property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a sensible view as this obligation chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Henley On Thames
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Henley On Thames conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
How and when do I pay stamp duty payable for my purchase in Henley On Thames?
