Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Malmesbury

I am purchasing an apartment in Malmesbury. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank approved list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Malmesbury conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?

You will need to appoint a lawyer to deal with the formalities if you take out a loan to buy your property. The conveyancer will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in order. One could instruct a Malmesbury lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the lawyer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company approved list additional costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Malmesbury what is your top tip you can give me for the home moving process in Malmesbury

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Malmesbury or throughout Wiltshire is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, selling agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Malmesbury is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your best interests and to protect you.

We are witnessing a distinct increase of a "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your conveyancer ahead of the other players in the conveyancing process.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Malmesbury

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
