At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Copse Hill and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Copse Hill you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Copse Hill 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

I am purchasing my first flat in Copse Hill with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Copse Hill I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Copse Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
