Is there a reason to instruct a Minehead conveyancing practice given that web based alternatives are so much cheaper?
Its a good idea to contrast conveyancing costs in Minehead and you should seek a competitive fee calculation but don’t be focused with getting the lowest priced Minehead conveyancer. Finding the right conveyancer can be the distinction between a seamless and a distressing move. You need to ensure that you have expert advice from a trusted solicitor. Emails can't replace a phone conversation and can never replicate a face to face consultation. The firms that we work with will allocate you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor who can handle your conveyancing from beginning to end, providing a level of continuity that you are unlikely to received from an online conveyancer. He or She will inform you as to headway and keep you informed. If you ever need to contact the office you will be sure who you need to speak to and they will ensure you are kept fully informed.
We were just about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Minehead. We encountered a problem. The mortgage offer with Barclays Direct runs out on 2/9/2025 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 4/9/2025. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?
The best person to deal with your issue is your conveyancer who will hopefully assess if he or she is should be discussing with the bank, vendor’s representatives, estate agents or conceivably all three taking into account the circumstances your conveyancing to date.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Minehead last December yet the purchaser is SMS messaging me complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your lawyer is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where appropriate, your conveyancer must also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Minehead.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Minehead took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Minehead differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Minehead approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Minehead tend to buy 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 conveyancers 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 Minehead or who has acted in the same development.
I was recommended by a number of property agents in Minehead to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your site over a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
