I instructed a Delabole based lawyer for our conveyancing in Delabole yesterday. After carefully reading the official terms of business I notewe are liable for charges even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and use a web based firm who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Delabole?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to counteract the cases that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these deals rarely cover outlay by way of example Delabole conveyancing search expenses.

Can the conveyancing practitioners that you recommend execute auction conveyancing in Delabole?

Should my lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Delabole.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Delabole. Some people will buy a house in Delabole, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Delabole. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the vendor to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim resulting from an misleading reply. A buyer’s lawyers should also conduct an environmental search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be conducted.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Delabole. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Delabole

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Delabole in advance of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of premises.
