We decided to go with a Louth based lawyer for my conveyancing in Louth today. Reviewing the small print I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the movedoes not happen. Should I go with them or choose a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Louth?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to counteract the transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that such schemes rarely cover outlay for example Louth conveyancing search expenses.
Me and my partner are buying a property in Louth. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I'm in the throws of looking at flats in Louth and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Principality.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Louth. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Louth benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my loan with Santander. 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Louth is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Louth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Louth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Louth may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
