I am selling our home in Williton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Williton. Having lived in Williton for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Williton for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Williton conveyancing specialists.
I am buying my first flat in Williton with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with Britannia. 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Williton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Williton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Williton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Williton may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I'm remortgaging my primary home to a buy to let loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on a second property. The location we are looking at is Williton. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the transactions?
Make use of our comparison tool on this page to ensure that the solicitors are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are your lawyer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.
Am I better off to go with a Williton conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? An old friend can deal with the legal formalities but they are based 400miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Williton conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were happy that should surpass using an unknown Williton conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
