Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Turvey

We are acquiring our first property. Our property lawyer has e-mailedto see if we wish to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Turvey

The type of Turvey conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your general attitude to risk. What matters is that you adequately understand what information each search could give you. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that search. If unclear, ask the solicitor to explain.

There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Turvey but how do I know who's good?

Do not opt for the cheapest Turvey conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Is it the case that all Turvey solicitor practices on the UBS conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the UBS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being difficult. The Turvey solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.

How does conveyancing in Turvey differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Turvey come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Turvey tend to 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Turvey or who has acted in the same development.

What does commercial conveyancing in Turvey cover?

Turvey conveyancing for business premises incorporates a broad range of advice, provided by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises. By way of example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the transfer of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of tenancies.

My husband and I may need to let out our Turvey ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Turvey conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

A lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Turvey do not prevent subletting altogether – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Turvey - Examples of Queries before buying

    You will want to discover as much as you can regarding the managing agents as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are frequently at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to every day matters such as the upkeep of the communal areas. Enquire of prospective neighbours whether they are happy with their service. Finally, be sure you understand the dates that the service fees are due to the relevant party and specifically how they are spending that money. Who are the managing agents?
