I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Thame to sign contracts within four weeks. What can be done to expedite the buying process?
Where the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and know-how. It is possible that they would have handled otherhouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Thame conveyancing lawyer. In addition, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is understood that 18% of Thame conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being delayed by almost three weeks. It is understood that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home sales every year. Almost all Thame conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
I am aiming to move property in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Thame. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent but this should only happen after the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Thame or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Thame.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Thame building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Thame conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The property lawyer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Intending to buy a house in Thame. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Thame solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Thame benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it may jeopardize my loan with Aldermore. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Thame conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
