I am planning to move home in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Fenham. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent however this can only take place once the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Fenham or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Fenham.
Can I be sure that the Fenham conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Fenham obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
We expect to receive a OIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Fenham solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Fenham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Fenham.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Fenham. Some people will purchase a property in Fenham, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Fenham. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an incorrect response. The buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an environmental report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be made.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Fenham with a loan from Britannia. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with Britannia. Is this normal?.
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 need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Fenham. I have discover a web site which looks to be the ideal offering If it is possible to get all formalities done via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

We are midway through purchasing a house in Fenham. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on the salability of the property?
Fenham conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a material impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancer.
