We are intent on selling our house in Ongar and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Ongar conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ongar. Having lived in Ongar for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 am buying my first flat in Ongar with a mortgage from Barclays . The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Monmouth but reside in Ongar. My conveyancer (approximately 300 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Ongar to attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Ongar based
There are a number of houses in Ongar on private roads. We are acquiring one such property. Are there any advantages to purchasing a house on a privately owned road?
Ongar conveyancing firms will be used to conveyancing homeson private. The conveyancer will review the Land Registry data to find any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners make annual contributions to maintain the road. If there is one, the road should be maintained and appear nicer than publicly adopted.
