Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Poole conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel?
Poole conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nottingham directly.
I am downsizing from our house in Poole and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Poole conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Poole. Having lived in Poole for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just bought a semi-detached house in Poole , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Poole conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration is dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Poole registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm buying a new build house in Poole with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it may jeopardize 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 today plan to offer on a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive. I have since discovered that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Poole. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Poole are freehold and not leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Poole in which case you should be shopping around for a Poole conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions such as obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the property is located on an estate. Your solicitor will appraise you on the various issues.

The best form of lease arrangement is if the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the tenants have control and although a managing agent is usually retained where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders. The answer will be important as a) areas can cause problems in the block as the communal areas may begin to deteriorate where repairs are not paid for b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the running of the building you will want to have complete disclosure It would be a good idea to find out if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. By way of example some leases prohibit pets being allowed in certain buildings in Poole.
