How can we know in advance if a Bexhill conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Bexhill seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
My husband and I are in the process of looking at apartments in Bexhill and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with UBS.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with UBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Bexhill agreed to, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Bexhill. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Skipton going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Bexhill conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.
Just bought a terraced house in Bexhill , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Bexhill conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Bexhill is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build house in Bexhill with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. 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.
I'm refinancing my current property to a BTL loan with Skipton Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on a second house.
