Having sold my house in Breaston last April yet the purchaser is telephoning me complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your solicitor is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer should also confirm that the mortgage has been paid off to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps specific conveyancing in Breaston.
My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Breaston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Breaston lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Breaston. Having lived in Breaston for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Breaston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Breaston contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Breaston tend to buy the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Breaston or who has acted in the same development.
I was recommended by a number of property agents in Breaston to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your services over another?
We don’t offer any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
