My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Fawley. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should phone your lawyer and enquire if they can act for the bank. Alternatively you can get in touch with Aldermore who may be able to help.
I am helping my aunt sell her property in Fawley. Will the solicitor order the EPC or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was maintained a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy assessment must be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms normally arrange. Where you are using a Fawley conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable Fawley assessors
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Fawley. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Fawley?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Fawley. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Principality as we want to carry out alterations to our property in Fawley. Are we obliged to choose a local Fawley solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Principality don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality panel.
I used Action Conveyancing several years past for my conveyancing in Fawley. I now require my papers but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

I am buying a new build house in Fawley with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with Coventry Building Society. 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've found a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Fawley. Conveyancing solicitors have are about to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Fawley ?
The majority of houses in Fawley are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Fawley in which case you should be shopping around for a Fawley conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in advising on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the landlord’spermission to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your conveyancer will advise you fully on all the issues.
