At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Saxilby and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Saxilby you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Saxilby)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My apartment in Saxilby is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my conveyancer have to be required to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Saxilby. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Saxilby?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Saxilby. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Saxilby. I have a mortgage offer with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing my first flat in Saxilby with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.

Are there frequently found defects that you see in leases for Saxilby properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Saxilby. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the premises A duty to insure the building
You may have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. National Westminster Bank, The Mortgage Works, and Aldermore all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
I bought a 2 bed flat in Saxilby, conveyancing having been completed December 2008. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Saxilby with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2086
With 61 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £19,000 and £22,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
