When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Borehamwood and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Borehamwood you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Borehamwood)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I'm buying my first flat in Borehamwood benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Borehamwood is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Borehamwood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Borehamwood you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Borehamwood may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
