I can't travel far from Beddau. Is there a reason why all Beddau solicitors aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Before the recession most lenders displayed an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancers on your panel. As a result, mortgage companies have since soughtmore data from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the lenders required.
I am acquiring a house for cash in Beddau. I have been living for the last 20 years in Beddau. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Beddau conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. Sometimes premises with apparent issues can still reveal adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Beddau should be able to give you some constructive guidance here.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Beddau. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Beddau
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Beddau
It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Beddau conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Beddau.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed but I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
