Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sawbridgeworth

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years old) in Sawbridgeworth. The vast majority the flats are already occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Sawbridgeworth?

You would be taking a significant risk in failing carrying out Sawbridgeworth conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would absolutely advise in the strongest possible terms that your solicitor conducts them. Where speed and price are top of your concerns you should consider with your conveyancer about the options such as contingency insurance available to you

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Sawbridgeworth conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

Sawbridgeworth conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Yorkshire BS directly.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Aldermore Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Sawbridgeworth?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

A colleague pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Sawbridgeworth there may be various restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external alterations to the property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Sawbridgeworth which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Sawbridgeworth should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

How can we tell if a Sawbridgeworth conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Sawbridgeworth obtaining recommendations is a good 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 advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.

We were going to get a AIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Sawbridgeworth solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Sawbridgeworth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
