Mortgage Rates Chicago

We are all aware that the process of selling one’s house can be a tricky business; especially if you are new to the game and aren’t aware of all the ‘hidden costs’ that one may incur in making the sale; however, a Manchester conveyancing solicitor has criticised a new bid by the government to put even more costs on to the process of selling a property.

Recently, new laws within the conveyancing world have been put forward that would cause homeowners to pay out an estimated 600 just to put their property on the market; the government is looking to make the controversial Home Information Pack compulsory in an upcoming Housing Bill.

This has been labelled a ‘disgrace’ by its opposers, including one Manchester conveyancing solicitor who has asserted that it will ‘open up a can of worms’. Its crux is that before a seller puts their property on the market, they will have to prepare a Home Information Pack, or HIP.

This will require many aspects of conveyancing that would not necessarily be needed under regular circumstances, including a surveyor’s report and land registry documentation. Dependant on circumstances, this could take up to and exceeding six weeks to properly prepare.

Seeing as it will be much more hassle than it is worth, the Manchester conveyancing solicitor claims that this law is an unnecessary addition to the conveyancing process. One point that he makes is that the building society or bank that they wish to borrow from will insist on using their own surveyor if the person looking to purchase a property is aiming to borrow money for the buy, which almost all buyers are.

There is a certain element of subjectivity in the very nature of surveying, therefore if the two surveyors disagree on some parts of the process, which they inevitably will do, then unnecessary complications may arise.

Now, this may be all very well for the surveyors, who can clock up more billable hours when discussing such complications, but it could be a financial nightmare for the buyer, and an administrative nightmare for a conveyancing lawyer. The Manchester conveyancing solicitor states that we have a good system now, so the rule of, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ should apply.
