The Finchampstead conveyancing firm handling our Finchampstead conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach correct?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
I own a freehold premises in Finchampstead but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Finchampstead and has limited impact for conveyancing in Finchampstead but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
We are due to move home in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Finchampstead. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent however this can only take place after the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Finchampstead or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Finchampstead.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Finchampstead. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this provision principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We were going to get a AIP from Nottingham 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 Nottingham recommend any Finchampstead solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Finchampstead solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Finchampstead
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Finchampstead conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
We are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in Finchampstead, and are now looking to get solicitors lined up. I have made use of the numerous rating based websites and the fee estimates are from all over the England and Wales. Is it critical to have a Finchampstead solicitor local to your prospective new home? We are willing to do everything over the internet, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to physically go into the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign contracts?
Usually there is no requirement to attend the office of your conveyancing practitioner, they can send any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and return. Many buyers and sellers choose to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it is not essential for conveyancing in Finchampstead.
