We have rather pushy sellers who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a down payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Exclusivity agreements are contracts binding a property seller and prospective buyer granting the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the premises within a prescribed time frame. Essentially, an exclusivity is a document specifying that you will have a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It is generally utilised for buyer confidence though in many situations, the vendor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are numerous pros and cons to using an agreement but you should to check with your solicitor but beware that it may end up incurring more in conveyancing fees. In light of these reasons these contracts are rare in relation to conveyancing in Coxhoe.
Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Coxhoe conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the TSB conveyancing panel?
Coxhoe conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from TSB directly.
I am thinking of mortgaging my flat in Coxhoe, does my lawyer need to be on the Virgin Money Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Virgin Money will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Coxhoe. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Coxhoe
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Coxhoe
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Coxhoe conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Coxhoe. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Coxhoe - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence.
