Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Reigate

I am hoping to complete my purchase in Reigate next Thursday. My property lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for banks would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 requirements. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Reigate.

is it true that all Reigate solicitor practices on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.

Can I be sure that the Reigate conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Reigate obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.

Co-operative have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Reigate has been agreed to, what happens next?

Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Co-operative or the financial adviser and finalise any relevant forms. Co-operative will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Co-operative will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Reigate.

Various web forums that I have come across warn that are the main cause of delay in Reigate conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Reigate.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Reigate with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society. 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.

How do I search for a Reigate law firm on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? I have wheels and am willing to travel upto 10miles to meet the lawyer.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Reigate. I happened to discover a web site which looks to be the perfect offering If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
