Recently asked questions about conveyancing in St Werburghs

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in St Werburghs. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in St Werburghs?

On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in St Werburghs. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a St Werburghs conveyancer having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own St Werburghs surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

My offer on a house in St Werburghs has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in St Werburghs. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, St Werburghs conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Clydesdale approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in St Werburghs.

I require expedited conveyancing in St Werburghs as I am under an ultimatum to complete in less than one month. A home loan is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not obtaining a mortgage you have the choice not to do searches although no lawyer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in St Werburghs the following are examples of what can appear and therefore impact future saleability: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Fees, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

If you love the flatin St Werburghs yet your dog can’t make the move with you then you will be faced difficult choice. If a St Werburghs lease has fewer than eighty years it will impact the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the property for 24 months before you are entitled to carry out a lease extension.
