Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Holbeach

My partner and I are buying a newly constructed flat in Holbeach and my lawyer is advising me that she has to the bank to disclose incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I don't want to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Holbeach?

If you are buying a property in Holbeach your lawyer will request that you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is needed to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is payable against the purchase price then this will be required immediately ahead of contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is needed will be payable a few days prior to the day of completion.

I am considering mortgaging my property in Holbeach, does my lawyer have to be on the Co-operative Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, but Co-operative would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

My colleague recommended that if I am purchasing in Holbeach I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Holbeach conveyancing searches. It is a large report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Holbeach around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Holbeach Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Holbeach.

I am purchasing my first flat in Holbeach benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

We are a couple of weeks into a residential purchase having been recommend to a firm by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Holbeach. I am not happy. Can you help me find new lawyers?
