It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in East Ham. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may be archived with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in East Ham relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I am planning to move property in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in East Ham. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent but this can only take place after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. You should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in East Ham or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in East Ham.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. East Ham conveyancing practitioners have been selected. How long does it take for Coventry BS to issue the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Coventry BS conducted the survey? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in East Ham. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in East Ham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street East Ham conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in East Ham. Having lived in East Ham for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am purchasing a new build house in East Ham with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in East Ham
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred East Ham conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
