The sellers of the home we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Fetcham who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of primary downsides with executing a lock out contract (sometimes known as a no-shop agreement) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Fetcham conveyancing lawyers as a result. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to win an injunction to bar the owner completing the sale to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of penalties.
What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Fetcham
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Fetcham conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
My wife and I purchasing a victorian detached house in Fetcham. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to determine if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Fetcham will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or require the permission of a 3rd party. Some works call for local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Fetcham solicitor - who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Fetcham surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are a common cause of stalling in Fetcham conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Fetcham.
