Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rufford

Can you point me to a directory of Principality panel conveyancers in Rufford on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings viewable online. Where you are seeking to appoint a Rufford property lawyer on the Principality please use our tool.

How can we tell if a Rufford conveyancing solicitor on the TSB panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Rufford getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Rufford conveyancing solicitors are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality done the valuation? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Rufford completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Rufford differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Rufford contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Rufford usually buy the site, 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 Rufford or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Rufford I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Rufford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use their preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Rufford

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Rufford conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.

At long last our conveyancing in Rufford is set to complete this Friday, however the couple I am purchasing from wants to move out the next day at at 2pm. Should I agree to this?

In situations where you are having a mortgage then your conveyancing practitioner will require that the property isvacant on Friday - the lender will demand it.
