Do the conveyancing lawyers Indexed on your site handle auction conveyancing in Sandbach?
There are a few auction practitioners we can connect you with those conducting auction conveyancing. Sandbach is just one of the many locations where our lawyers have a presence.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a newly converted flat in Sandbach with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society.We use our Sandbach conveyancing solicitor but Leeds Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Leeds Building Society panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Sandbach took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm buying a new build house in Sandbach with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it would adversely affect my loan with Barclays . Is this normal?.
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 am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Sandbach where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Sandbach conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Its a good idea to discover as much as possible about the company managing the block as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day issues like the cleanliness of the communal areas. Ask other people what they think of them. On a final note, be sure you know the dates that you are obliged pay the maintenance charge to the relevant party and precisely what you get for your money. Can you inform me if there are any major works on the horizon that will likely increase the service fees? It is important to be aware if window replacement or some other major work is pending to be shared amongst the leaseholders and may well materially increase the the service costs or require a one off invoice.
