I am in need of a conveyancer. Should I go for for an online conveyancer rather than a high street Dore conveyancing solicitor?
In the main conveyancing practitioners in your neck of the woods will benefit from strong connections with your local authority, which could help with the Dore conveyancing searches that your lawyer will need to carry out. It can only be a plus if they have existing rapport with the Local Land Registry Office your area Dore, other property lawyers in the area and Dore selling agents.
Our conveyancer has identified a a problem with the lease for the flat we are buying in Dore. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must ensure that the bank is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.
I am selling our house in Dore and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Dore. Having lived in Dore for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Dore?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Dore. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm buying a new build house in Dore with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it may impact my loan with Alliance & Leicester . Is this normal?.
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.
