We are purchasing a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Marlow who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Marlow.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a Marlow based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the probability is that allocate you one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender and determine if they allow a monetary alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Marlow.
I am buying my first flat in Marlow with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it may affect my loan with the lender. 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 property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Marlow is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Marlow are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Marlow you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Marlow 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 premises.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Swansea but I am based in Marlow. My solicitor (who is 260 miles awayneeds me to execute a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Marlow to attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Marlow based
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Marlow. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Marlow - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I invested in buying a studio flat in Marlow, conveyancing was carried out in 2005. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Marlow with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2092
With 68 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
