We instructed a high street firm for our conveyancing in Tadcaster yesterday. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I noteI am on the hook for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose a web based solicitor practice offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Tadcaster?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover the cases that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these schemes rarely protect you from disbursements for instance Tadcaster conveyancing search costs.
We are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Tadcaster but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner in the sum of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Virgin Money are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
The solicitor being on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Virgin Money of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the reduction to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Tadcaster.
I need some fast conveyancing in Tadcaster as I have an ultimatum to exchange contracts in less than 4 weeks. A home loan is not required. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are not getting a home loan you are at free not to do searches although no law firm would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Tadcaster the following are instances of what can show up and therefore impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...
The deeds to my property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Tadcaster 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to evidence that you own the land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Tadcaster benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it will affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but I am based in Tadcaster. My solicitor (based 250 miles awayrequires that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Tadcaster who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Tadcaster
