I am downsizing from our house in Sonning Common and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Sonning Common conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sonning Common. Having lived in Sonning Common for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Sonning Common differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Sonning Common contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Sonning Common usually purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Sonning Common or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Sonning Common is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Sonning Common are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sonning Common you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sonning Common may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Am I best advised to instruct a Sonning Common conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can conduct the conveyancing however they are based 400miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Sonning Common conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Sonning Common know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and in the main were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Sonning Common conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
