I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Slough. Will the conveyancer order an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was maintained a required component of moving house. An EPC should be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Slough conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with reputable Slough assessors
We previously instructed solicitors locally in Slough on the Virgin Money solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for dealing with the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Virgin Money?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Slough conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Virgin Money panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Slough building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Slough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am downsizing from our house in Slough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Slough conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Slough. Having lived in Slough for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
The deeds to my house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Slough 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware precisely where to locate all the relevant documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the property.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Slough benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it could impact my loan 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.
