Me and my partner are soon to exchange buying a property in Kings Langley but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the owner in the sum of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Co-operative will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
Any lawyer being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Co-operative of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Kings Langley.
As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Kings Langley what is the number one tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Kings Langley
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Kings Langley and elsewhere in Hertfordshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, property agent and even potentially your bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Kings Langley is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a distinct increase in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer above the other parties in the conveyancing process.
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Kings Langley took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am purchasing a new build house in Kings Langley with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
