It has taken forever and a day but a loan offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom garden flat is expected within the next few days. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Towcester?

You have arrived at the wrong site to search for the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Towcester. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers seducing you with £99 conveyancing in Towcester. In your best case scenario, in being led by cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up with a hefty uplift in extras and still not end up with the service expected.

I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Towcester to exchange within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?

Where you are under pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local connections and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they would have transacted otherhomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Towcester conveyancing solicitor. In addition, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Towcester conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being delayed by an average of three weeks. It is claimed that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home moves annually. Most Towcester conveyancing practices can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Towcester and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Towcester. We have lived in Towcester for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you 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 sickness)

I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Towcester for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Towcester conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Towcester differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Towcester approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Towcester typically 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Towcester or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Towcester is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Towcester are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Towcester you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Towcester may decide 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 residence.
