Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bramford

We are acquiring a brand new flat in Bramford and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Can you point me to a directory of Nationwide panel solicitors in Bramford on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Bramford conveyancer on the Nationwide please use our tool.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Bramford off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being problematic. The Bramford solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Do I need to take out insurance to cover chancel repairs when buying a residence in Bramford?

Unless a prior purchase of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect conveyancing practitioners carrying out conveyancing in Bramford to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Bramford with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would impact 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.

I am downsizing from my house. My past conveyancers has retired. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Bramford if that affects matters.
