Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Coney Hall

Will conveyancers request money on account when it comes to conveyancing in Coney Hall?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Coney Hall your solicitor will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Generally this is called for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is payable against the sale price then this will be required shortly prior to exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Coney Hall. I I would like to check if they are on the Nottingham Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

The first thing you should do is phone your lawyer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please call Nottingham Building Society who may be able to help.

I am selling our home in Coney Hall and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Coney Hall. Having lived in Coney Hall for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

How does conveyancing in Coney Hall differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Coney Hall approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Coney Hall 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Coney Hall 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 Coney Hall before instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Coney Hall. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Coney Hall especially if they are familiar with such properties in Coney Hall.
