My husband and I are purchasing a new build apartment in Perton and my lawyer is advising me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
How up to date is your database of Perton solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Do Leeds Building Society send you an updated list?
Perton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.
How does conveyancing in Perton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Perton contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Perton tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Perton or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Perton is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Perton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Perton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Perton may ascertain 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 was recommended by numerous selling agents in Perton to find a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than another?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
