Should conveyancers request an advanced payment for conveyancing in Harbury?
If you are buying a property in Harbury your lawyer will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is as part of the total price then this should be needed immediately ahead of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.
I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Harbury for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Harbury conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in Harbury with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it will adversely affect my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. 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.
