Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Knutsford

Can the conveyancing solicitors listed on your site carry out conveyancing in Knutsford by way of an attended exchange?

We do have a number of conveyancing specialists carrying out attended exchanges. You should e-mail us to obtain a conveyancing quote and details as to availability.

At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Knutsford and do I need to be at the lawyers office?

If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Knutsford you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Knutsford)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in Knutsford differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Knutsford come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Knutsford typically purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Knutsford or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Knutsford I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Knutsford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

I was pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Knutsford to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site over and above a competitor’s?

We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
