What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Oakley
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Oakley 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I am purchasing a victorian detached house in Oakley. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Oakley will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some works need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

How does conveyancing in Oakley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Oakley come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Oakley 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Oakley or who has acted in the same development.
