The conveyancing fees on a leasehold premises in Wylam is frequently more expensive as compared to a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of supplemental work required in dealing with the freeholder and management company to obtain information about whether the rent and service charges have been cleared and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

The Wylam conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Wylam have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and my family Wylam lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

Will my conveyancer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wylam.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Wylam. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Wylam, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Wylam. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages resulting from an misleading answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also order an enviro search. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.

How does conveyancing in Wylam differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wylam approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Wylam typically buy the real estate, 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 Wylam or who has acted in the same development.
