I am in need of a property lawyer. Do I opt for a nationwide conveyancer or a local New Addington conveyancing lawyer?
Established third party relationships are another important factor to consider when appointing conveyancing solicitors. New Addington conveyancers often have connections with mortgage brokers and New Addington, local authorities, valuers and other conveyancing firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Having years of insight into the local area is an advantage.
I am downsizing from our property in New Addington and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street New Addington conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in New Addington. Having lived in New Addington for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I have justdiscovered that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in New Addington for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of New Addington conveyancing specialists.
I am buying a new build house in New Addington with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it may impact 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. New Addington is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in New Addington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in New Addington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in New Addington may decide 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 residence.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in New Addington. I've discover a site which looks to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all this stuff done via web that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
