I instructed a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Pangbourne recently. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I seewe are on the hook for costs even if the movedoes not proceed. Should I ditch them and use an on-line firm promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Pangbourne?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise the transactions that do not go ahead. Please beware that such promotions rarely cover expenses by way of example Pangbourne conveyancing search expenses.
AssumingI was to acquire a straightforward homein Pangbourne for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Pangbourne?
The only saving you would make on is the Pangbourne conveyancing searches. Your conveyancer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your vendors lawyer, SDLT submission, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it won't be a lot.
What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Pangbourne
It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest Pangbourne conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I just acquired a property at auction in Pangbourne. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Having exchanged you should hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are faced with a pending a drop dead date to complete the purchase. Every auction property will have an associated auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the legal pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You must give this to the lawyer working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Pangbourne building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Pangbourne conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The solicitor has to follow the CML Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Pangbourne is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Pangbourne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 residence.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Pangbourne. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Pangbourne - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
