Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Laceby

I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Laceby. The vast majority the appartments are already sold. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Laceby?

You would be opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in refusing to carrying out Laceby 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 necessity to have them, but we would strongly advise in no uncertain terms that your solicitor conducts them. If timings and price are primary issues you should discuss with your solicitor about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Laceby conveyancing lawyers are chosen. How long does it take for Principality to send the offer to the conveyancer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Principality done the survey? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Lloyds are being a right pain. The Laceby solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds 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.

At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Laceby accepted, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The sellers have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Laceby. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Laceby conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.

Will my solicitor be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Laceby.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Laceby. Plenty of people will buy a house in Laceby, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Laceby. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading answer. A purchaser’s solicitors will also carry out an environmental report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Laceby?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Laceby. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on 3 bedroom house in Laceby I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thehouse move in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Laceby.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Laceby should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

Our offer on house in Laceby was agreed to, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have put an offer on somewhere, although it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Laceby. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance going with Kent Reliance?

It is standard to have anxieties where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Laceby conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Laceby.
