We are about to sign contracts for a ground floor flat in Clarbeston Road. We encountered a stumbling block. The loan offer with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society runs out on 9/3/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 11/3/2026. Can one prolong the loan offer?
The best person to deal with your issue is your lawyer who will hopefully assess if he or she is better off negotiating with the bank, owner’s conveyancers, property agents or conceivably all parties given the circumstances your house move as of today.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Clarbeston Road what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Clarbeston Road conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. 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. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
Is it the case that all Clarbeston Road solicitor practices on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we want to carry out renovations to our property in Clarbeston Road. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Clarbeston Road solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Leeds Building Society don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are intent on selling our house in Clarbeston Road and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Clarbeston Road lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Clarbeston Road. We have lived in Clarbeston Road for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Clarbeston Road?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Clarbeston Road. 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'm buying a new build house in Clarbeston Road with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. 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.
