I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Santander. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Great Missenden. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Is it possible for conveyancing in Great Missenden to be finalised in less than 28 days?
Where the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they would have conducted otherhouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Great Missenden conveyancing solicitor. Second, ensure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Great Missenden conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the transaction being held up by an average of 21 days. It is estimated that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Many Great Missenden conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Great Missenden last September but my buyer keeps calling every few hours to say her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Following your disposal your lawyer is committed to forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Great Missenden.
I'm buying a new build house in Great Missenden with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it may jeopardize 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.
What does commercial conveyancing in Great Missenden cover?

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Great Missenden. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and service charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
