I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Anerley. Almost all the properties have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Anerley?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Anerley conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to switch to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Anerley.
At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Anerley and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Anerley you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Anerley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
How does conveyancing in Anerley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Anerley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Anerley tend to acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Anerley or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Anerley
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Anerley conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
