At what point will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Babbacombe and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Babbacombe you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Babbacombe)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was retained a compulsory component of moving property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Babbacombe conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Babbacombe providers

I am buying a new build house in Babbacombe benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it could affect my loan with Barclays Direct. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
I work for a busy estate agent office in Babbacombe where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Babbacombe conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I own a 1st floor flat in Babbacombe, conveyancing was carried out March 1999. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding flats in Babbacombe with over 90 years remaining are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2095
With 70 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
At what point do I cover the costs of stamp duty payable for my Babbacombe flat purchase?
