Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Buckingham

My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Buckingham and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?

The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

We're in Buckingham, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Do not opt for the lowest Buckingham conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Co-operative as we wish to conduct alterations to our home in Buckingham. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Buckingham solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Co-operative would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

Will my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Buckingham.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Buckingham. There are those who buy a property in Buckingham, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Buckingham. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages resulting from an misleading response. A buyer’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro search. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.

I am buying my first flat in Buckingham with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd. Is this normal?.

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 element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Buckingham is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Buckingham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Buckingham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Buckingham may decide 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 residence.
