I plan on buying a ground floor flat in Stoke Bishop. My lawyer is not on the mortgage company approved panel. Can I still appoint my Stoke Bishop conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must have a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required if you require a loan to purchase your home. They will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. You could instruct a Stoke Bishop conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not on the lender approved list additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
How does conveyancing in Stoke Bishop differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Stoke Bishop approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Stoke Bishop tend to acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Stoke Bishop or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Stoke Bishop is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Stoke Bishop are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Bishop you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stoke Bishop may determine 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.
