Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Jarrow. Is there a reason why all Jarrow solicitors aren't included on all bank panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for mortgage companies to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s standpoint, the other side of the coin is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and feel it vital to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern lenders are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Jarrow and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Jarrow you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Jarrow)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

A relative advised me that where I am purchasing in Jarrow I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Jarrow Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Jarrow.
I am buying my first flat in Jarrow benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it would impact 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.
