Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Oakhill

I opted for a Oakhill based lawyer for our conveyancing in Oakhill today. After carefully reading the Terms I seeI am on the hook for charges even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or select an on-line lawyer promising no move no charge conveyancing in Oakhill?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that these promotions rarely protect you from disbursements for example Oakhill conveyancing search expenses.

Due to move into my new home in Oakhill next Thursday. My solicitor now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the bank. What does the insurance need to cover?

What can a local search tell me concerning the house I am buying in Oakhill?

Oakhill conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for example Onsearch The local search is essential in every Oakhill conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search will provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject areas.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Oakhill I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Oakhill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I'm refinancing my current home to a buy to let mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on another property. The neighborhood we are talking about is Oakhill. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two banks and link together the transactions?

Normally, almost all concerns arising from Oakhill conveyancing search results can be addressed prior to completion or indemnity insurance can be obtained. You need to note that although you are buying the premises and may be content to live with the search results, your lender may not, and when all said and done the decision rests with them.
