Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Great Missenden

Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Great Missenden who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from National Westminster Bank. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Better the devil I know or do I seek out a cheaper online conveyancer?

Our nephew is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Great Missenden with a mortgage from RBS. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Are the Great Missenden conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Virgin Money?

How does conveyancing in Great Missenden differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Great Missenden come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Great Missenden typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Great Missenden or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Great Missenden I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Great Missenden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

My fiance and I are buying a three bedroom maisonettein Great Missenden with a loan from a bank. We like our conveyancer in Great Missenden but our lender advise she’s not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our bank panel firms or stay with our Great Missenden solicitor and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Great Missenden : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
