Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Wythenshawe conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Wythenshawe. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. A few days later, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
How does conveyancing in Wythenshawe differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wythenshawe come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Wythenshawe usually 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wythenshawe or who has acted in the same development.
