Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Great Coates 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you may buy or sell your property without any difficulty. If duplicates are not available, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.
How does conveyancing in Great Coates differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Great Coates approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Great Coates usually buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Great Coates or who has acted in the same development.

Are Great Coates conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to issue clear conveyancing figures?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are specific rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be interpreted as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Great Coates or further afield.
