Completed the sale of my flat in Bexhill last September but our buyer keeps texting every few hours to say their conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
After completion of your sale your lawyer is committed to forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. If applicable, your conveyancer must also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Bexhill.
A relative recommended that if I am purchasing in Bexhill I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Bexhill conveyancing searches. It is a large document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Bexhill around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Bexhill Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Bexhill.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bexhill is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Bexhill are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bexhill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bexhill may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Bexhill I would like to talk to a solicitor about myhome move before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Bexhill.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for your conveyancing in Bexhill should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
