Property Sale Conveyancing in Doncaster
The Situation
- The Challenge: A High-Pressure Chain at Risk
- Client: A High-Pressure Chain at Risk
- Property: A Freehold Property in Doncaster
Our clients were part of a 'four-strong' chain. They were selling their family home and buying a smaller property to retire. Their original solicitors—a high-volume national firm—had failed to resolve a 'Title Defect' regarding an old boundary extension from the 1990s. The buyer’s solicitors were threatening to pull out, which would have caused the entire chain of four moves to collapse.
The JM Conveyancing Intervention
With just three weeks left before the clients’ mortgage offer on their new home expired, they switched their file Julie Mortimer and the team.
Immediate Audit
Our Technical Specialist identified that the missing paperwork for the boundary was actually a simple missing Deed available from a neighbour (with a bit of digging!).
Creative Problem Solving
Instead of entering a months-long negotiation and a possible failed sale, a lost document was found.
Chain Management
The team the estate agents for every party in the chain. By providing a clear, technical timeline, she reassured the other three families that the move was back on track, preventing them from looking for other buyers.
Proactive Document Prep
While resolving the boundary issue, the team simultaneously prepared all transfer deeds and redemption statements so that once the green light was given, we could exchange immediately.
The Result
- Completion: Achieved within 18 days of JM Conveyancing taking over the file.
- The Move: Mr. & Mrs. J moved into their retirement home on their original target date.
- Chain Saved: All four families in the chain completed their moves on the same day.
What the Client Said:
'We were at our wits' end with our previous solicitors who just kept saying 'we're waiting for a reply.' Julie and the team took charge, found a solution in days, and kept us calm throughout. They didn't just sell our house; they saved our retirement plans.'
— Mr. & Mrs. J
