Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Waterlooville?
If you are buying a property in Waterlooville your lawyer will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the sale price then this will be asked for immediately ahead of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed should be transferred a few days ahead of the completion date.
I am intent on selling our house in Waterlooville and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Waterlooville. We have lived in Waterlooville for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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 illness)
I purchased a terraced Edwardian property in Waterlooville. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Virgin Money. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Virgin Money to clarify?
You need to 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 Waterlooville and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I'm buying a new build house in Waterlooville with a loan from Santander. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage with Santander. 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.

Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Waterlooville on Easter Monday?
Because on completion the purchase price needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the buyer and owner’s conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only happen on a working day. It is not possible to complete on a saturday or sunday either.
