My wife and I are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Codsall but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Co-operative are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Your solicitor being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Co-operative of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Codsall.
We are purchasing a flat in Codsall. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to deposit funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Codsall. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Codsall?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We expect to receive a DIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Codsall solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Codsall solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Codsall?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Codsall. 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…’
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Codsall in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Codsall. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I am just shy of a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Codsall , but I still want to exchange. Do I have options?
One option is to try and accept a lower deposit. Many property owners will accept a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
