Having sold my house in Blandford Forum last March but our buyer keeps whats apping every few hours to say their lawyer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer is committed to deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also evidence that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Blandford Forum.
My husband and I are buying a newbuild apartment in Blandford Forum with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We use our Blandford Forum conveyancing practitioner but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society says his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society

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.
Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Blandford Forum with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Blandford Forum can be reduced where you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved. Many landlords or Management Companies in Blandford Forum charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management pack sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Blandford Forum. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Blandford Forum leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Should you dont have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer in advance. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy process and delays many a Blandford Forum conveyancing deal. Where a new share is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible.
