Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Consett

We hired a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Consett last week. Going through the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or use an on-line solicitor practice promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Consett?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to offset those cases that abort. Please beware that such offerings rarely cover expenses such your Consett conveyancing search expenses.

I have a terraced Victorian property in Consett. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Barclays to clarify?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Consett and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Consett with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it may impact my loan with Bank of Ireland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Consett before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a mortgage on such a premises.
