Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Boldon

We have very brash vendors who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?

This kind of preliminary agreement is unusual in Boldon, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has entered into a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your seller may secure by reneging on the agreement, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.

I am considering applying for a Principality mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Boldon with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Principality ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Principality conveyancing panel, but Principality would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

Should our lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Boldon.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Boldon. There are those who acquire a property in Boldon, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Boldon. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the seller to find out if the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim resulting from an misleading reply. The buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro report. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Boldon with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Lloyds TSB 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.

I am a sole trader hoping to take over a lease of a shop on a shopping parade. Can you recommend lawyers offering competitive charges for commercial conveyancing in Boldon for under £2000?

Should I go with a Boldon conveyancing lawyer based in the vicinity that I am buying? An old friend can handle the legal work but his firm is located a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Boldon conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Boldon know how is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Boldon conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
