Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Blakeney

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Blakeney for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Halifax won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

Pre- 2008 most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Blakeney conveyancing firms would have been on many lender panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more information from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of transactions. Many Blakeney conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Blakeney is one of the many locations where the conveyancers we list are on the panel for Halifax.

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian property in Blakeney. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Birmingham Midshires to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Blakeney and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I am purchasing a new build house in Blakeney with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it may affect my mortgage with Virgin Money. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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%.

Why is New Build conveyancing in Blakeney more expensive?

Purchasing a brand new property is significantly distinct from the normal house buying conveyancing in Blakeney. For a start housebuilders usually insist contracts to exchange inside a short timeframe, so there is a a great deal of pressure on your lawyer to make sure everything is in order. Furthermore new build conveyancing often necessitate the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Bank obligations are also more demanding. Taking into account the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
