Would the conveyancing lawyers listed on your site carry out attended exchange conveyancing in Thurston?
We do have a number of conveyancing experts carrying out one day exchanges. Do call us to get a fee calculation and details as to dates.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Thurston. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Thurston?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Thurston. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
My wife and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from Nottingham as we intend to conduct alterations to our home in Thurston. Are we obliged to select a local Thurston solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Nottingham would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham list.
We expect to receive a OIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Thurston solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Thurston solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Thurston.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Thurston. There are those who purchase a house in Thurston, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in Thurston. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the seller to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. A buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be conducted.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Thurston prior to retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Thurston. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Thurston especially if they are familiar with such properties in Thurston.
My father has recommend that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Thurston. Should I use them?
