Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bollington

The owners have rather pushy vendors who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a down payment of 5k. Are such contracts generally advanced for Bollington conveyancing transactions?

Lock out agreements are contracts binding a home seller and purchaser granting the buyer the sole right to purchase the premises for a set period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out is a document stating that you should have a contract at a later date being the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the vendor may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many pros and cons to using an agreement but you should to check with your conveyancer but note that it may result in costing you more in conveyancing charges.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bollington? What am I being asked for?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Bollington conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing where you live.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to check not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may lead to your conveyancer terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

I have been told by my solicitor that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Bollington conveyancing?

The appropriate level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Bollington building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Bollington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Your solicitor has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Bollington solicitor - who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Bollington postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Bollington.

I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Bollington for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Bollington conveyancing specialists.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Bollington in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to issue a loan on such a house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bollington. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Taking into account that I am about to part with 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Bollington I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thehome move ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
