We are acquiring a newly constructed apartment in tipton and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and I have no desire to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I own a freehold premises in tipton yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in tipton and has limited impact for conveyancing in tipton but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
How can we tell if a tipton conveyancing solicitor on the Lloyds panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in tipton obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we wish to carry out renovations to our home in tipton. Are we obliged to appoint a high street tipton solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Leeds Building Society do not ordinarily instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society list.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. tipton conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. How long does it take for Lloyds to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds conducted the survey? Have you advised Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I'm purchasing a new build house in tipton with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it could adversely 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%.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in tipton what are the most frequent lease defects?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in tipton. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
