I am purchasing a garden flat in Clowne. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Clowne you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Clowne.
We are downsizing from our property in Clowne and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Clowne conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Clowne. Having lived in Clowne for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have recentlybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Clowne for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Clowne conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Clowne with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it could affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Clowne is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Clowne are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Clowne you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clowne may decide 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.
