Me and my fiance are intending to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Seaton Sluice with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Seaton Sluice conveyancer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or retain our Seaton Sluice property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This seems very unfair; can we not insist that the mortgage company use our Seaton Sluice conveyancer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. Another option that might be available is for your Seaton Sluice conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing my first flat in Seaton Sluice with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Barclays . 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.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Seaton Sluice
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Seaton Sluice conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
I've found a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have since discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Seaton Sluice. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Seaton Sluice are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Seaton Sluice in which case you should be looking for a Seaton Sluice conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the property is part of an estate. Your solicitor will advise you fully on all the issues.
I own a garden flat in Seaton Sluice, conveyancing formalities finalised March 2004. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Seaton Sluice with over 90 years remaining are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2081
You have 57 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £26,600 and £30,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
My sister completed her conveyancing in Seaton Sluice 9 years past. She has since got married, divorced and in recent months got remarried. She wishes to market the property next summer. I think she will simply be requested to supply copies of her marriage certificates to the lawyer however she is worried it could frustrate the sale of the house. Should she appoint a solicitor to update the title information for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the title for the property providing you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the name change occurred.
Any buyer’s conveyancing practitioner will review the title details and require evidence to prove the name change for instance marriage certificates.
