Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Raunds costs more?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Raunds and elsewhere usually necessitates additional work compared to freehold transactions. This includes lease investigation, liaising with the landlord about serving required notices, procuring current service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different owners have owned the lease since it was first entered into.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Raunds and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Raunds conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Raunds. Having lived in Raunds for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 sickness)
I'm buying my first flat in Raunds benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage 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 decided to have a survey completed on a house in Raunds ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not grant a loan on this type of property.
