I hired a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Walton On Thames last week. Upon checking the terms of engagement I seeI am responsible for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use a web based firm who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Walton On Thames?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset those transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that these promotions generally do not cover disbursements e.g. Walton On Thames conveyancing search fees.
Our conveyancer has discovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are buying in Walton On Thames. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must check that the bank is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
Are the BSA intent on creating a online directory to list firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Walton On Thames?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.
How does conveyancing in Walton On Thames differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Walton On Thames come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Walton On Thames tend to purchase the site, 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 Walton On Thames or who has acted in the same development.
