Forward Thinking Will Shorten Your Property Completion Time

You have decided to move house and understand what you can afford. You have movement in your outgoings should interest rates rise. That forward thinking is just what you need to ensure you can indeed complete in less than 5 months. It should be 3 months but so many people instruct their Solicitor at offer stage and waste at least 2 weeks. If you want to complete fast then you need to have a Solicitor instructed when you place your property on the market for sale. If you are buying only then ideally you instruct a Solicitor when you are viewing properties.

Why the need to Instruct a Solicitor promptly?

The Solicitor on instruction will send out a Client care pack and you will need to read the contents of that pack and agree to the terms of engagement. You will need to return relevant paperwork signed before the conveyance can start. Assuming the care pack is posted to you and you return the signed agreement then this could take 8 days. Of course receiving the care pack be email and scanning the documentation backs reduces this time to say 2 days.

On receipt your chosen Solicitor will start the conveyance by carrying out relevant ID checks on you. Then if that is all ok they will be interested in progressing your property transaction. This is the bit that can start off really badly. Sometimes Estate Agents do not pass Buyers Solicitor details to their Vendors Solicitor until a Survey has taken place. Sounds crazy but that is what some do. You can make your offer on the basis that details will be forwarded before Survey. That’s important, it shows that you mean business and are willing to spend monies to get the job done fast. When you do place an offer do you advise what an ideal exchange of contracts date would be. It could be in 3 months time!

You have to be realistic and set from the outset a date that all parties can work to.

When you instruct a Survey you will probably find that it can be done within the next 10 days. Solicitors can if instructed in the meantime carry out the searches. The Homebuyer Conveyancing quotes include a search pledge which enables the searches to be carried if required before the Survey. The pledge provides the Buyer another set of searches for Free up to a value of £300 should you need to pull out of the transaction through no fault of their own. This is worth considering as many Local Authorities are struggling to get their searches done quickly. The Homebuyer panel does have access to faster searches and some useful indemnity policies.

So by forward thinking you can set the scene for a fast completion.

1. Instruct your Solicitor promptly
2. Return documents so the conveyance can begin
3. Make an offer on the basis that your Solicitor details are passed to the Vendors Solicitor on the day of the offer being accepted.
4. Ensure the right contact details are passed over and ask for the Vendors Solicitor details so that you can check them. Crazy that details can be incorrect but it’s worth checking to avoid delays
5. Consider carrying out the searches before Survey. Does it help you?
6. Book a Surveyor so that you can have report back from them within 10 days of offer. That means ideally you want the Survey booked within 7 days of the offer.
7. Ensure that all parties are working to the same realistic exchange of contracts date
8. If it is raining checkout your planned property purchase. Your solicitor will be carrying out a flood risk check but why not have a look yourself. So many new Builds are built on ground that was subject to high levels of water.
9. Understand from the outset how you can ask a question to your Solicitor knowing that you will get an answer back. They may have a direct line, an email for specific questions an extremely efficient paralegal.
10. Set out key milestones with your Solicitor for updates. That will alleviate the strain you feel.

So in a nutshell those properties that take a long time to complete have many reasons, but in the main its because Buyers and Sellers don’t understand what needs to be done and by when. They need to be chased which slows down the transaction time. It’s all about forward thinking.

Homebuyer Conveyancing Helping Big Dreams Become Reality

Big Dreams Motivate Us To Challenge What We Have - Moving House Sits At The Top

When we feel that we are boxed in then we try and work out a solution to escape. The coronavirus has caused many First Time Buyers and Homeowners to rethink their property strategy. Flats with a balcony can work but very few flats have a rooftop space. It's not surprising that we all dream big in the current situation. Moving house is high on the agenda. A way of escaping the current lockdown. We are allowed to move and renovate our properties without penalty.

Saving The Stamp Duty Land Tax 

The current SDLT holiday is set to finish on the 31st March 2021. Will it be extended is the big question?

Well we think it will be extended with an incremental uplift each month. The build up of the tax sets the scene for Conveyancers to get back on track. Without it the current brick wall of the SDLT holiday ending will have severe consequences. 

What is the Impact of not managing the SDLT comeback?

It's actually not about the Sellers and the Buyers it's about the small business that relies on completions.

The conveyancers, Estate Agents, Removal, Tradesman all rely on completions to get paid. Without completions many firms will have significant cash flow problems. They have already managed at least 5 months without their normal cash flow and the recent SDLT holiday gave them confidence that they could recoup those lost months cash. They didn't take the furlough because they were working.

The SDLT holiday should be extended by 3 months. On February 1st it goes to parliament to be discussed. The Trades involved in moving house need stability. The Buyers and Sellers need to move. 

Homebuyer Conveyancing Supports Big Dreams

Support Conveyancing is required when you are selling or buying property. Big decisions are made on what the conveyancing costs will be. That's why Homebuyer Conveyancing does it right first time. Buyers and Sellers can review online impartial conveyancing quotes without disclosing their personal details.

That means you can make a decision in your own time without the spam.

Buyers have a significant advantage if they instruct an impartial Conveyancer that provides a fixed fee quote. 

They know where they stand on the day they instruct. It does pay to dream big.

Make The Most Of Moving House Conveyancing Updates

 Moving House Conveyancing Updates 

When moving house your appointed Lender approved Conveyancing Solicitor must have access to all the updated searches. Old searches cannot be relied upon. The Homebuyer Conveyancing panel from inception in 2013 has used one search provider - Onesearch Direct. They provide a faster search process and in these troublesome coronavirus times Buyers need exceptional service levels.

AS we all know if we start the conveyancing process early we have a greater chance of getting to a fast exchange of contracts. So many people instruct a Conveyancer very late in the day when offers are made or worse when the survey results come in.

When you instruct a solicitor you should allow two weeks from instruction to managing your property transaction. When you instruct a Solicitor you must return promptly the signed terms of engagement. 

Failing this your conveyance will not start.

Start the property move in the driving seat and try and establish an achievable exchange of contracts date. You will be amazed how many don't and they wonder why the process is so slow. It's slow because all parties are working to a different agenda. If you leave the management of contact details to your Estate Agent then you could be waiting around for a very long time. When you provide contact details always use a test email to see how the other party responds. This will tell you very early on what you will need todo. You could for instance send an email and follow up with a phone call. As soon as you have clarification on who does what you then head for specific milestones. You don't want updates for the sake of updates. all you will be doing is slowing down your Conveyancer.

Be clear on what you want and by when, after all you are paying for a service. Your Homebuyer Solicitor will be on the ball but they may have to work hard to get the other party Solicitor to speed up.

Step up to the conveyancing challenge and use Homebuyer Conveyancing to get the job done. Your approved Lender Homebuyer Conveyancing Solicitor has access to faster searches. Just what you need in today's marketplace.

Move Home During Lockdown With Homebuyer Conveyancing

4th January 2021 Lockdown Announced 

Yet another Lockdown announced, we will all be thinking when will this all end. When we take control of the situation and roll out the vaccine the hardship reduces. Once we vaccinate the vulnerable and key workers the UK economy can begin again, something to look forward to but is it enough?

The Best case is that in 4 weeks we will see cases begin to drop because of the lockdown and in 8 weeks we will see significant reductions in deaths from covid due to both the vaccine and the tier 5 lockdown. In 8 weeks we will hopefully have vaccinated between 10M – 16M of the UK population.

The 67M UK population has 17M under the age of 20. So 50M is the target population, if the vaccine proves to be the answer. The previous data suggests that under the age of 20 the Virus causes less deaths to that age set. The 50M target population will take best case 25 weeks or worse case 50 weeks to vaccinate. 

However as every core group is vaccinated the exponential curve of cases reduces significantly.

Taking Control – That’s What We Need To Do

2021 is when the Virus must be managed. We of course have the advantage over other Countries, the UK is an island. To protect this situation all travellers should only commute if they are Covid tested and they show they are negative for the virus. With the recent Brexit deal we now have Borders. A massive plus to help eradicate the Virus. We must now see a strong leadership to manage our borders. An army mentality is needed with stringent process management. Thorough with our resolve to STOP the virus from entering.

The UK turning point is on the 6th Jan 2021. We can do so much more if the plan is explained to the people.

So Why Move House During Lockdown?

We need hope and moving house brings excitement where we can move forward to pastures new.

In a perfect scenario if you started thinking of moving today, you would first contact a Mortgage Broker to check out your affordability. If you are then clear on what you could afford you would decide if moving was an option either from a rental property or by selling your own home. You would produce a moving house checklist and cost out each stage. The Homebuyer Conveyancing comparison website provides direct pricing of all conveyancing costs without the need to enter personal details. The facts for you to make an informed decision on who to use for your conveyancing without the spam.

If you are a First Time Buyer then buying a property should take just 3 months. The First Time Buyer lending is improving with 95% LTV coming back to the market place and as such it would seem sensible that First Time Buyers were supported for the next 6 months by having no SDLT to pay for properties under £360,000. Fingers crossed that we hear that this is the case.

Existing Homeowners

For Homeowners we have a situation where they might already be moving but they have suffered delays due to Surveyors being in lockdown, slow lending and slow / non existent Local Authority searches. These Homeowners need a helping hand and need the current March deadline to be extended by at least 2 months.

To boost the economy and reduce the amount of furlough money being paid out the Government should consider extending the current SDLT holiday deadline by another 3 months with a reduced SDLT tax introduced in July, slightly increased in August and September and the full SDLT being reintroduced in October 2021. Of course the Government may decide to let Homeowners enjoy the SDLT Holiday until the end of September falling inline with School holidays. That sounds sensible with minimal disruption but massive gain to the already booming Housing Market.

Making Progress With Your Conveyancing Move

Sometimes you have to go backwards to move forwards! Plan your move and assume that no SDLT savings exist. Then if the SDLT holiday is extended you will have that exciting Surprise of no SDLT to pay.
