I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Worcester Park for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Worcester Park conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Worcester Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Worcester Park come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Worcester Park typically acquire 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 Worcester Park or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Worcester Park before appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks may not issue a loan on this type of premises.
