The property market in Northamptonshire is heating up. What can be done to hasten the legal process?
In a situation where the seller is applying time constraints to exchange it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local connections and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they may have transacted otherhouses in the same street. Therefore consider using a Northamptonshire conveyancing lawyer. Second, ensure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Northamptonshire conveyancing transactions are frustrated or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being delayed by an average of 21 days. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home sales annually. Many Northamptonshire conveyancing firms can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Northamptonshire but how do I know who I should use?
Do not opt for the lowest Northamptonshire conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
is it true that all Northamptonshire solicitor firms on the Nationwide conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be overseen by the CLC.
We were going to get a AIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Northamptonshire solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Northamptonshire solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Northamptonshire 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and secure current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I'm buying a new build house in Northamptonshire with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
