I just acquired a house at auction in Romiley. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Now that you are exchanged you will need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of urgency as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the property. Every auction property will have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the auction pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to pass this on to the solicitor working for you as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Romiley conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. How long does it take for Nationwide to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nationwide done the survey? Have you advised Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Virgin Money are being a right pain. The Romiley solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
What will a local search reveal about the house I am purchasing in Romiley?
Romiley conveyancing often commences with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for example Xpress Legal The local search plays an important role in most Romiley conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.
I am purchasing my first flat in Romiley with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Romiley is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Romiley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Romiley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Romiley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Romiley
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is counter productive. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Romiley conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
