Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thatcham

I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Thatcham. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Are you able to vouch for a Skipton Building Society allowed Thatcham conveyancing lawyer finish our home move within 28 days? Am I best advised to choose a high street Thatcham practice or an online conveyancer?

We can recommend some very good Thatcham conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the main road in Thatcham. Visit two or three firms and request to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a fee estimate. Discuss your time frames together with your reasons and ask for a commitment on your deadline. Appoint the lawyer that you are most comfortable with.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Thatcham last August but our buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours to moan that their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

Following your sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where relevant, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the mortgage has been discharged to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Thatcham.

We are planning on selling our house in Thatcham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Thatcham. Having lived in Thatcham for three years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

The deeds to our home can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Thatcham 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to find all the appropriate documentation so you can purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. If copies can’t be located, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your property.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Thatcham. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Thatcham
