We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Grahame Park endorsed using your search tool but stumbled across some other estimates via the web appear less expensive – why is this?
There are numerous solicitors marketing theoretically looks to be cut price. We would encourage you to think long and hard as to how much you respect your own move to you are willing to be penny wise pound foolish with regard to the standard of the legal work. Some hide extras well inside the terms and conditions. The law firms that we put forward for conveyancing in Grahame Park neverbehave this way.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Nottingham Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Grahame Park?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. 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.
Will our lawyer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Grahame Park.

A buyer’s lawyers will also conduct an environmental search. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Grahame Park took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Grahame Park with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
My fiance and I may need to rent out our Grahame Park basement flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Grahame Park conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Grahame Park do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
Having spent years of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Grahame Park. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Grahame Park conveyancing firm who can help.
