Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the number one cause of hinderance in Rainham Kent conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Rainham Kent.

The deeds to our property are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Rainham Kent 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

Assuming you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be documented by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee.

I am buying a new build house in Rainham Kent benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it could impact 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.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Rainham Kent

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Rainham Kent conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.

I want to let out my leasehold flat in Rainham Kent. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Your lease governs relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Rainham Kent do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
