Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Thames View who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Barclays Direct. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I try and find an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The charges appear a tad high. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm offered you couldlive to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. Don't forget to check the conveyancer can also act for Barclays Direct. Do utilise our search tool to locate a Thames View conveyancing firm on the Barclays Direct member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Thames View.
My brother and I have just bought a property in Thames View. We have noticed several problems with the house which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Thames View?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Thames View. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Thames View.
As someone not used to the Thames View conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart for the house moving process in Thames View
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Thames View and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, selling agent and sometimes the lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Thames View is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a worrying emergence in the "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your conveyancer ahead of all other parties in the home moving process.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Thames View , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Thames View conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Thames View registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Thames View differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Thames View approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Thames View typically purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Thames View or who has acted in the same development.
