What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wootton?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
My friend suggested that if I am buying in Wootton I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Wootton conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Wootton around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Wootton Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Wootton Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Wootton.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Wootton 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title deeds to prove you are the registered proprietor of land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Wootton with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it would impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
