Last April we completed a house move in Chorleywood. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Chorleywood?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Chorleywood. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. answers turns out to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Chorleywood.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a Chorleywood based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you want the "fee-free" offer. Contact the mortgage company to ask if they allow a monetary alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Chorleywood.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the primary reason for hinderance in Chorleywood house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Chorleywood.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Chorleywood?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Chorleywood. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am purchasing a new build house in Chorleywood benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Santander. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
