We are selling our house in Preston Park and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Preston Park. Having lived in Preston Park for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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 purchased a semi-detached Edwardian house in Preston Park. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Clydesdale to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Preston Park and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
I am purchasing a new build house in Preston Park benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. 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.
My step-father has encouraged me to use his conveyancing solicitors in Preston Park. Should I use them?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Preston Park conveyancing lawyer the best way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to get referrals from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.
My wife and I have recently had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a solicitor that if they are not on their approved list of solicitors then we will have to pay out an additional charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to select a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have asked HSBC to provide me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
Ask HSBC what their criteria for joining their panel is for a conveyancer.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we should be able to locate a conveyancer in Preston Park on the panel for HSBC.
