I opted for a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Navenby yesterday. Looking through the fine print it is apparent thatwe are liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or select a web based solicitor practice promising no completion no cost conveyancing in Navenby?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise the cases that fail to complete. Also remember that such deals generally do not cover expenditure such as Navenby conveyancing search fees.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Navenby last May but our buyer keeps texting every few hours complaining that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your solicitor should deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also evidence that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Navenby.
The Navenby conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Navenby have without warning closed. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the RBS conveyancing panel and my family Navenby lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the RBS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.
How does conveyancing in Navenby differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Navenby contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Navenby tend to acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Navenby or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Navenby prior to instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will not give a loan on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Navenby. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Navenby especially if they are familiar with such properties in Navenby.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Navenby
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Navenby conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
