I am selling our property in Derbyshire and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Derbyshire lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Derbyshire. Having lived in Derbyshire for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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 ailment)
I am purchasing a new build house in Derbyshire with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with Lloyds TSB Bank. 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.
Should I choose a Derbyshire conveyancing lawyer based in the area that I am buying? We have a good friend who can handle the legal formalities however his firm is located approximately 350kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a local Derbyshire conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were content that should trump using an unfamiliar Derbyshire conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
My father purchased his flat in Derbyshire Six years ago. He has been married, divorced and is now married again. He will be marketing the flat in a couple of months. I think he will simply be need to provide a copy of his marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner however he is worried it will delay the home sale. Should he instruct a conveyancer to update the title information for the property?
The is no need to bring up to date the register as long as you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the name change occurred.
The purchaser’s property lawyer will check the land registry information and require evidence to establish the change of name for example marriage certificates.
