At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Gedling and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Gedling you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with offer a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Gedling)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Gedling concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Gedling with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with Alliance & Leicester . Should I keep quiet?.
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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Gedling is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Gedling are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gedling you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gedling may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
