I have todaybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Baschurch for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Baschurch conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Baschurch differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Baschurch come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Baschurch tend to purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Baschurch or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Baschurch ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not give a loan on such a property.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Baschurch
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Baschurch conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
