I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Sandbanks. 95% of the appartments have already been sold. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Sandbanks?
You would be opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in not carrying out Sandbanks conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that your lawyer conducts them. If time pressures and price are top of your concerns you should discuss with your solicitor about the options such as contingency insurance available to you
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Sandbanks. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Sandbanks involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Sandbanks
Two types of professional can execute conveyancing in Sandbanks namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can provide conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or acquisition of property. Both are obliged to perform Sandbanks conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you can be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that the requirements and steps will be accurately followed.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being pedantic. The Sandbanks solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My sealed bid on a house in Sandbanks has been agreed to, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Sandbanks. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Sandbanks conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Sandbanks.
I am purchasing a property and the solicitor has mentioned Chancel Repair to which the house may be liable as it falls into the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this strictly appropriate for conveyancing in Sandbanks
Unless a prior purchase of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners carrying out conveyancing in Sandbanks to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
