I hired a local firm for our conveyancing in Dereham recently. After carefully reading the Terms I notewe are liable for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based solicitor practice who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Dereham?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover the transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that these promotions rarely cover outlay such your Dereham conveyancing search fees.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Dereham? Why is this being asked of me?
Dereham conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to supply two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Confirmation of source of funds is also required in accordance with the money laundering laws as conveyancers are required to check that the funds you are utilising to buy a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase price if you are a cash purchaser) has come from legitimate source (such as employment savings) rather than the fruits of criminal behaviour.
I am buying my first flat in Dereham with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Britannia. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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 for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Dereham I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Dereham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

At long last our conveyancing in Dereham is set to complete on Friday, but the owners I am buying off wishes to move out on the Saturday PM. Can I agree to this?
In situations where you need a mortgage then your conveyancing practitioner will demand that the premises arevacant on Friday - the mortgage company will insist on it.
