As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Trelogan what’s the number one tip you can give me for the house moving process in Trelogan
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Trelogan and elsewhere in Flintshire is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, estate agent and even potentially the bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Trelogan is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. For example, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Should our solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Trelogan.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Trelogan. Some people will purchase a property in Trelogan, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Trelogan. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the seller to discover if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s solicitors should also conduct an environmental report. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.
I own a semi-detached Edwardian property in Trelogan. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Trelogan and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Trelogan benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with Alliance & Leicester . 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.
Am I better off to go with a Trelogan conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can carry out the conveyancing however they are based over three hundred kilometers away.
