At what point does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Shrewsbury and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Shrewsbury you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Shrewsbury)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Shrewsbury. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A couple of days later, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
About to purchase house in Shrewsbury. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Shrewsbury solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Shrewsbury agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Shrewsbury. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Shrewsbury conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Principality approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Shrewsbury.
How does conveyancing in Shrewsbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Shrewsbury come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Shrewsbury typically purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Shrewsbury or who has acted in the same development.
