I am planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Wanborough who is on the Britannia approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Britannia in certain locations such as Wanborough. We dont recommend any particular firm.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Wanborough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Wanborough lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Wanborough. We have lived in Wanborough for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am purchasing a new build house in Wanborough with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it would impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Wanborough. I have chance upon a web site which appears to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I’m about to sell my basement flat in Wanborough. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
Leasehold Conveyancing in Wanborough - Examples of Questions you should consider Prior to buying
-
Are there any major works in the near future that will add a premium to the service charges? Best to be warned if redecorating or some other major work is coming up that will be shared between the leasehold owners and could well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance fees or necessitate a specific payment. The prefered form of lease structure is if the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees enjoy being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is frequently employed where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.
