Having sold my house in Woodbury last January but the buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours complaining that their solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your sale your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where relevant, your solicitor must also evidence that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Woodbury.
What does a local search inform me regarding the property I am purchasing in Woodbury?
Woodbury conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for example Xpress Legal The local search plays a central role in many a Woodbury conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your property. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic areas.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Woodbury benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Woodbury I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Woodbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
I am due to consider estimates for conveyancing in Woodbury from numerous conveyancing practitioner and appoint one. Do I tell them to sit tight until I a suitable house to buy.
You should wait to ask your property lawyer to start work and order searches once the sales memorandum has been issued by the estate agent especially as Woodbury conveyancing searches are not cheap.
