If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Tring what would it be?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Tring conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I am helping my mother sell her house in Tring. Does the conveyancer order the energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a required part of selling a property. An EPC must be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. It is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Tring conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established local energy assessors
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Tring.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Tring. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Tring, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Tring. The standard information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the seller to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect response. A purchaser’s lawyers may also carry out an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Tring differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tring contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Tring tend to 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 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 Tring or who has acted in the same development.
