First, If you are under pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will make use of local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted previoushouses in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Poole conveyancing solicitor. In addition, be sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is estimated that 18% of Poole conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks member panel. This can often result in the transaction being delayed by an average of 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home moves every year.

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Poole what would it be?

Do not opt for the lowest Poole conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying 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 am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Poole. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an energy assessment or do I organise this?

Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was maintained a required element of moving house. An energy performance certificate should be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Poole conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with long established Poole providers

Are there frequently found problems that you witness in leases for Poole properties?

Leasehold conveyancing in Poole is not unique. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the property Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall

You may encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Santander, Barnsley Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.
