Completed the sale of my flat in Shepperton last July but my buyer keeps SMS messaging me to moan that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Post completion of your house sale your conveyancer is committed to deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where appropriate, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Shepperton.
I have justbecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Shepperton for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Shepperton conveyancing specialists.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Shepperton benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it will put at risk my loan with TSB. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
