Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thorpe Hesley

Me and my partner are about to complete buying a property in Thorpe Hesley but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Nottingham will not agree to this. Why were they involved?

Your conveyancing practitioner being on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Nottingham of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Thorpe Hesley.

How does conveyancing in Thorpe Hesley differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Thorpe Hesley come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Thorpe Hesley usually 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Thorpe Hesley or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Thorpe Hesley is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Thorpe Hesley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Thorpe Hesley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thorpe Hesley 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 premises.

I am short of a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Thorpe Hesley , but I am anxious go ahead. What can I do?

One option is to try and agree a smaller deposit. Most sellers will accept a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last second
