In the event that you are under a tight deadline to complete we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and insight. It is even conceivable that they would have handled previoushomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Bookham conveyancing lawyer. In addition, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is said that nearly one in five of Bookham conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the transaction being held up by almost 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home sales every year. Almost all Bookham conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Bookham. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

Intending to buy a house in Bookham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bookham property lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

What can a local search tell me about the property we're buying in Bookham?

Bookham conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations such as Onsearch The local search is essential in every Bookham conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search will reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic areas.

I am buying my first flat in Bookham with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it could impact my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

My parents are having problems in finding their Bookham property on the HM Land Registry website. They have a vague recollection back in the 60’s when they purchased the bungalow there were complications regarding the address not being recognised in some systems.

The vast majority of premises in Bookham should show up. Have you tried a search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it should identify all the premises within the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which could be with your parent’s mortgage company.
