This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Arundel. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Arundel?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Arundel. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Arundel. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Arundel lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Arundel accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Arundel. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Arundel conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Clydesdale approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Arundel will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Arundel.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Arundel concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Arundel with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
