Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose impending roadworks that could affect a commercial site in Ongar?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Ongar will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Ongar. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Ongar.

I have justbecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Ongar for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out 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 Ongar conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Ongar differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ongar come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Ongar tend to buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ongar or who has acted in the same development.
