Completed the sale of my flat in Stechford last August yet the purchaser is whats apping daily complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your solicitor should deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor should also confirm that the mortgage has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Stechford.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Stechford?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the mortgage company to determine if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Stechford.
How does conveyancing in Stechford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Stechford contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Stechford tend to purchase the site, 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 Stechford or who has acted in the same development.
