I'm purchasing a new build house in Poplar with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
I was advised by a few selling agents in Poplar to locate a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of another?
We don’t make any commission for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Poplar. I happened to chance upon a web site which seems to have the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all the legals done via web that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? 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?
I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Poplar. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
