How can we tell if a Ulverston conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Ulverston seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Ulverston conveyancing practitioners were appointed. How long does it take for UBS to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have UBS done the valuation? Have you informed UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Our offer on a house in Ulverston has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ulverston. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Ulverston conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Ulverston.
My wife and I are intent on selling our property in Ulverston and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Ulverston lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ulverston. We have lived in Ulverston for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Ulverston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ulverston contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Ulverston typically 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 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 Ulverston or who has acted in the same development.
