Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kempshott

At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Kempshott and do I need to be at the solicitors office?

Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Kempshott you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Kempshott)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I can see plenty of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Kempshott but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Kempshott

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Kempshott conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Santander, do Kempshott conveyancers have to pay an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I'm spending time looking at houses in Kempshott and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Co-operative.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Co-operative, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Kempshott I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kempshott for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

How do I identify a Kempshott law firm on the The Mortgage Works conveyancing panel? I have a car and am happy to travel upto 10miles to meet the conveyancer.

You can use the tool on this page. Please pick a bank and your location and you will see a number of Kempshott conveyancing lawyers locally. We have detailed some Kempshott conveyancing firms towards the end of this page and you can call them to check if they are on the The Mortgage Works panel

Why can I not complete our conveyancing in Kempshott on May bank holiday?

This is due to the fact that on completion the money needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s property lawyer and currently this can only occur on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a saturday or sunday either.
