Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ovingham

My wife and I are soon to complete buying a house in Ovingham but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the seller of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but RBS will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?

The property lawyer that is on a RBS conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform RBS of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the price change to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Ovingham.

We are purchasing a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Ovingham who is on the Aldermore solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Aldermore . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Ovingham.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Ovingham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Ovingham conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ovingham. Having lived in Ovingham for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

How does conveyancing in Ovingham differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Ovingham approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Ovingham tend to purchase 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 property lawyers 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 Ovingham or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Ovingham is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Ovingham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ovingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ovingham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am looking for a conveyancing solicitor in Ovingham for my home move. Is it possible to see a solicitor's complaints history with the legal regulator?
