My fiance’s uncle is a solicitor. I suspect that I will receive preferential rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Arley?

You should contrast pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this page. You will notice that fees will vary but service levels do are distinct between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.

A colleague advised me that if I am buying in Arley I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Arley conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out important information about Arley around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Arley Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Arley.

I got the keys to my house on 6 June and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Arley said it should be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Arley uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Arley is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property thus registration formalities is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Arley. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Arley

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Arley to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services over another?

We refuse to give any referral fee for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
