What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Sturminster Newton? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Where you are unwilling to supply ID verification documents, your solicitor will not be able to take you on as a client.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to pop into the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Sturminster Newton so that I can pop in to their offices if required.
Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the borrowers signature.

I have been told by my solicitor that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Sturminster Newton conveyancing?
The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Sturminster Newton conveyancing solicitors are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from RBS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS completed the survey? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Our offer on a semi in Sturminster Newton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Sturminster Newton. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Sturminster Newton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to move forward with searches.
I'm buying a new build house in Sturminster Newton with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will impact my mortgage with Britannia. 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.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Sturminster Newton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Sturminster Newton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
