Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Nailsworth

Finally the sale completed on my house in Nailsworth last November yet the purchaser is whats apping every few hours to say their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

Following your disposal your lawyer should send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer should also confirm that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Nailsworth.

I am in the process of mortgaging my home in Nailsworth, does my lawyer need to be on the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, but Kent Reliance would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Nailsworth. The Nailsworth property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is principally there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.

We expect to receive a OIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Nailsworth solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Nailsworth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Nailsworth. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

We are buying a house and the conveyancer has identified Chancel Repair for which the property may be obligated to contribute to as it falls into the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this really required for conveyancing in Nailsworth

Unless a previous purchase of the property completed post 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Nailsworth to continue to advocate a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

The deeds to our house are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Nailsworth 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to evidence that you own the land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

My company is intending to take over a lease of an office on the high street. Can you recommend conveyancers offering fixed fees for commercial conveyancing in Nailsworth for less than £1,200?
