I opted for a local firm for our conveyancing in Cudham last week. After carefully reading the Terms I noteI am responsible for costs even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and choose a web based solicitor practice promising no completion no cost conveyancing in Cudham?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to counteract those transactions that do not proceed. Dont forget that such promotions rarely cover expenses for instance Cudham conveyancing search expenses.
Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Cudham but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor in the sum of three thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Lloyds will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
The lawyer that is on a Lloyds conveyancing panel is required to inform Lloyds of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to notify the reduction to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Cudham.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Cudham. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Cudham?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Cudham. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
A friend informed me that in purchasing a property in Cudham there could be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external alterations to the property. Is this right?
There are a number of properties in Cudham which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Cudham should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
is it true that all Cudham solicitor practices on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Cudham
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Cudham conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Cudham. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the service charge as usual as all rents and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I have been looking for Cudham conveyancing quotes online. Can I be sure that all the Cudham practices that are listed on your website are on the bank conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have advised us that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the mortgage company panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Cudham firm being on the bank conveyancing panel is not accurate.
