We selected a high street firm for our conveyancing in Ladywell last week. Upon checking the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Ladywell?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover the transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that these arrangements generally do not cover expenditure such as Ladywell conveyancing search fees.
I am purchasing my first flat in Ladywell with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Ladywell I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ladywell in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

My partner and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Ladywell. At the point of instructing our conveyancing practitioner, they assured us that they were on all mainstream lender panels. Our mortgage broker called just now to advise that they don't appear to be on the HSBC approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just find a different lawyer that is on their approved list or should we cover the costs for dual representation, with HSBC appointing their own approved property lawyer.
When buying a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the buyer’s solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the lawyer has to meet. Some banks now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancer should contact HSBC and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on HSBC's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Ladywell lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another solicitor into the equation.
