My wife and I are in the throws of viewing flats in Swanscombe and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a solicitor in place at this point? I am planning to take a home loan with Nationwide.
It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are taking out a mortgage with Nationwide, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Swanscombe with a mortgage from Barclays . The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it may impact 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Swanscombe is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Swanscombe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Swanscombe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Swanscombe may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My father-in-law has suggested that I use his conveyancers in Swanscombe. Should I choose my own property lawyer?
No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to have feedback from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
