Can conveyancing in Henlow to be concluded within 10 days?
In the event that the seller is applying time constraints to exchange it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they would have conducted previousproperties in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Henlow conveyancing solicitor. In addition, make sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is estimated that 18% of Henlow conveyancing deals are held up or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being held up by almost 21 days. It is said that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home sales every year. Most Henlow conveyancing firms can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.
My husband and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in Henlow with a residential mortgage from Aldermore.We use our Henlow conveyancing practitioner but Aldermore advised that his firm is not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Aldermore panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Aldermore panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Aldermore use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Aldermore solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Henlow house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Henlow.
How does conveyancing in Henlow differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Henlow approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Henlow usually acquire the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Henlow or who has acted in the same development.
