As someone with no idea as to the Bellingham conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me for the home moving process in Bellingham
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Bellingham and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, estate agent and sometimes the lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Bellingham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a definite creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you must always trust your solicitor ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I'm buying a new build house in Bellingham with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Should I keep quiet?.
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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Bellingham is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Bellingham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bellingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bellingham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Bellingham. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we are being charged a fortune from the landlord. So far we have paid £237 for a leasehold management pack and then another £117.20 for additional questions supplied by the buyers solicitor.
Your solicitor will unlikely have any impact over the extent of the charges for this information but the typical fee for the information for Bellingham leasehold premises is £360. For Bellingham conveyancing transactions it is conventional for the vendor to cover the charges. The landlord or their agents are under no statutory obligation to answer these questions most will be content to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices out of proportion to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no legislation that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any prescriptive time frame by which they are required to issue the information.
