I have just been advised by my broker that my Kegworth lawyer is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be sure whether this is correct?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Kegworth lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
I am buying a brand new flat in Kegworth and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong deal. 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 bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Should my lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Kegworth.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Kegworth. There are those who purchase a house in Kegworth, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Kegworth. The standard information given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect response. A buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Kegworth 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will know exactly where to find all the relevant documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. If copies can’t be located, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we use their recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Kegworth
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Kegworth conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
