We hired a Deeside based firm for our conveyancing in Deeside yesterday. Upon checking the small print I seeI am liable for charges even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line lawyer promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Deeside?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise those cases that do not proceed. Please beware that such offerings rarely cover outlay for instance Deeside conveyancing search costs.
Last December we completed a house move in Deeside. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Deeside?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Deeside. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a document known as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Deeside.
We are planning on selling our home in Deeside and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Deeside conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Deeside. We have lived in Deeside for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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)
I'm purchasing my first flat in Deeside with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with Barclays Direct. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Deeside and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Deeside. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Deeside area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Deeside. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
I am purchasing a house mortgage free. My conveyancer has been supplied with with two separate evidence of photographic ID, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he requires a copy from a probate lawyer stating that the funds are in order and that it has come from inheritance and not dealing E's in Ibiza.
In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Deeside conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Establishing of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations.
