I decided to go with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Burghfield Common today. Upon checking the terms of engagement I seeI am liable for fees even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and select an on-line firm advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Burghfield Common?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to cover those transactions that do not go ahead. Please beware that these promotions rarely cover expenditure for example Burghfield Common conveyancing search costs.
I am purchasing a newly constructed apartment in Burghfield Common and my conveyancer is advising me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I have no desire to delay deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Burghfield Common. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the lender or they may still be with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Burghfield Common involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
