Q.Many online and high street law firms advertise supposedly cheap conveyancing quotes. Often additional fees may be added into the small print. Excited property buyers and sellers, eager to get underway, often ignore this small print when they instruct. The conveyancing quote should also state any disbursements to be paid. Extras listed in the terms ought to be clearly defined and be applied only where your solicitor must perform additional tasks , which could not be anticipated at the start of the process. We provide quotes, not estimates, and clearly state the fees for a standard conveyancing.
Q.The legal process can take anywhere between 3 weeks and 3 months based on a number of things, such as the efficiency of the vendor's conveyancing solicitor, or whether there are any linked sales.
Q.It is firmly advised that most purchasers arrange a surveyor to undertake a survey. It is a fact that there are a wide range of issues which can affect a property, that a solicitor will be unable to address, including cracks around door frames and unsafe chimney circulation.
Stamp Duty Land Tax will depend on several factors, primarily the value of the house or flat. For a home sold for £779000, SDLT will be £31160.*

Q.Repair costs resulting from chancel liability can total hundreds of thousands of pounds. After the passing of an Act in 2002, interest over any affected land in Crook must be registered by October 2013. This will make it easier to identify affected property through a chancel search. Churches in Crook include St Catherine and St Catherine's.
Q.Local authority enquiries conducted by your Crook property lawyer during the legal process should identify whether the property is in a conservation area and any evidence of permission for additions to the property will be required.
Q.The custom of rejecting an offer which has been accepted when a better one is made by another buyer is called gazumping. The will be a danger of getting gazumped in any transaction, because offers are not binding until exchange of contracts. You should instruct an efficient solicitor as soon as you can to reduce the chance of your transaction being gazumped.
Q.The short answer is, the faster you instruct the better, as there are various tasks that can be performed straight away. A number of sources suggest holding off instruction until an offer is accepted, but you will then be at a serious disadvantage in the event of a contract race, or buyer eager to move quickly.
