Is it possible for conveyancing in Gloucester to be done in less than two weeks?
Where you are under pressure to exchange it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have conducted previoushomes in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Gloucester conveyancing solicitor. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is estimated that 18% of Gloucester conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s lawyer was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being held up by almost three weeks. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home sales annually. Almost all Gloucester conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Gloucester 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know precisely where to locate all the suitable documentation so you can buy or sell your house without any difficulty. If copies are not available, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.
I am purchasing a new build house in Gloucester benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. 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 was advised by a number of property agents in Gloucester to select a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than another?
We don’t give any financial incentive for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
