I have recentlybecome aware that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Derby for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property 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 Derby conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Derby differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Derby come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Derby 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Derby or who has acted in the same development.
