We opted for a Norfolk based firm for my conveyancing in Norfolk today. Going through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to choose an internet conveyancing company who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Norfolk?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to counteract the cases that do not go ahead. Please beware that such promotions tend not to cover disbursements by way of example Norfolk conveyancing search costs.
At what point does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Norfolk and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Norfolk you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Norfolk)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I'm buying my first flat in Norfolk with a loan from Halifax. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it may put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
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 issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Norfolk is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Norfolk are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Norfolk you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Norfolk may ascertain 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.
