Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Carshalton Beeches

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Carshalton Beeches. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Carshalton Beeches?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Carshalton Beeches. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

We previously appointed solicitors locally in Carshalton Beeches on the HSBC solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further amount for handling the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by HSBC?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by HSBC but by your Carshalton Beeches property lawyer. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

My sealed bid on a property in Carshalton Beeches has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Carshalton Beeches. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Carshalton Beeches conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to move forward with searches.

Will my conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Carshalton Beeches.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Carshalton Beeches. Some people will purchase a property in Carshalton Beeches, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Carshalton Beeches. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to determine if the premises has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading reply. The purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an environmental report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.

I bought my house on 6 September and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Carshalton Beeches said it would be dealt with inside ten days. Are titles in Carshalton Beeches particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Carshalton Beeches registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Carshalton Beeches with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

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.
