Is there a reason to instruct a Rugeley conveyancing company when online conveyancers are so much cheaper?
Its a good idea to get 2 or 3 like-for-like quotes for conveyancing costs in Rugeley and you should seek a competitive fee calculation but don’t become consumed with searching for the cheapest Rugeley conveyancer. Locating the right conveyancer can mark the distinction between a smooth and a stressful house move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert advice from a specialist lawyer. An e-mail can never be as helpful as a telephone call and can never replicate a face to face consultation. Our partner firms will appoint you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor that will tackle your conveyancing from from the outset to completion, giving the sort of hand holding that you rarely receive from an internet conveyancer. Our lawyers will inform you on any developments making sure that you are never in the dark. If you ever need to contact the office you will know who you need to speak to and they will be sure you are in the know.
My home in Rugeley is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will the property lawyer have to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for obstruction in Rugeley conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Rugeley.
The deeds to our house are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Rugeley 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be held by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and order up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
How does conveyancing in Rugeley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Rugeley approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Rugeley typically 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 Rugeley or who has acted in the same development.
