We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Box who is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Santander . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Box.
How does conveyancing in Box differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Box approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Box usually acquire 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 property lawyers 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 Box or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Box in advance of retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Box. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Box especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Box.
I'm remortgaging my primary property to a buy to let loan with Santander and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on further house. The area we are looking at is Box. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two banks and link together the transactions?
Make use of our comparison tool on this page to ensure that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are the lawyer should be able to connect the two transactions but you should talk with you conveyancer and specify your expectations and requirements.
Our conveyancing in Box is set to complete on Friday, but the people I am purchasing from wishes to vacate 24 hours later at noon. Should I agree to such a idea?
Where you are having a loan then your conveyancing practitioner will require that you have vacant possession on Friday - the lending institution will compel it.
