Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chigwell

I chose a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Chigwell yesterday. Reviewing the fine print it is apparent thatwe are liable for fees even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I ditch them and choose an internet solicitor practice promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Chigwell?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise those transactions that abort.

I am buying a property in Chigwell. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Chigwell.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Chigwell off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Barclays. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Chigwell 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and get current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.

I am purchasing my first flat in Chigwell benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with National Westminster Bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
