I require fast conveyancing in St Annes Park as I am under pressure to sign on the dotted line in less than 3 weeks. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are are a mortgage free purchaser you are at free not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in St Annes Park the following are examples of issues that can show up and adversely affect the marketability of the property: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in St Annes Park?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in St Annes Park. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am purchasing a new build house in St Annes Park with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in St Annes Park
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred St Annes Park conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
I am hoping to sign contracts shortly on a basement flat in St Annes Park. Conveyancing lawyers have said that they report fully next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

I have miscalculated my finances and am a couple of grand short a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in St Annes Park , but I still want to exchange. Do I have options?
You can accept a lesser deposit. Most sellers will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
