We are aiming to move home in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Hazlemere. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only be done after the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Hazlemere or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Hazlemere.
When it comes to lenders such as Coventry BS, do Hazlemere solicitors have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Hazlemere. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Not long after, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Hazlemere and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hazlemere. We have lived in Hazlemere for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Hazlemere. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Hazlemere and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
I'm buying my first flat in Hazlemere benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 opted to have a survey completed on a house in Hazlemere ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Hazlemere. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Hazlemere to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
