Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Millwall

My partner and I are acquiring a newly built flat in Millwall and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and I have no desire to delay matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender 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.

When will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Millwall and do I need to be at the lawyers office?

If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Millwall you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Millwall)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Millwall. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Millwall?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Millwall. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

My uncle pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Millwall there could be a number of restrictions preventing external changes to a property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Millwall which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Millwall should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Millwall. I have a mortgage agreed with Nationwide. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for stalling in Millwall house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Millwall.

I am purchasing a new build house in Millwall with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it may affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Hoping to buy a property located in Millwall and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Millwall. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Millwall area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
