We decided to go with a high street firm for my conveyancing in Tewkesbury today. Going through the Terms it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even if the movedoes not go ahead. Should I ditch them and use an internet firm who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Tewkesbury?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover the cases that abort. Dont forget that these schemes generally do not protect you from expenditure e.g. Tewkesbury conveyancing search fees.
Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial site in Tewkesbury?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Tewkesbury will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Tewkesbury. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Tewkesbury.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Tewkesbury it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may cause delays to Tewkesbury commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Tewkesbury.
2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Tewkesbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 asset 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 Tewkesbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tewkesbury approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Tewkesbury usually acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Tewkesbury or who has acted in the same development.
I have been advised by a few property agents in Tewkesbury to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Tewkesbury. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
