My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in East Leake and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street East Leake lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in East Leake. Having lived in East Leake for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am buying a new build house in East Leake with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about this extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in East Leake
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred East Leake conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
I have read on various consumer advice websites that before selecting a conveyancing lawyer they need approved by your bank. It happens to be my first home move but I have an offer in principle with Nat West Bank and I already have a high street conveyancing lawyer in East Leake lined up. Will Nat West Bank require an approved solicitor to be instructed? If so, where do I find that list for my conveyancing in East Leake?
You should choose a solicitor that is on the Nat West Bank panel. Just ring your preferred East Leake conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Nat West Bank panel. If they are not on the panel you have a couple of alternatives open to you here:
- Carry on with your chosen East Leake conveyancing practitioner but Nat West Bank will undoubtedly retain a solicitor from their approved panel. The net impact is additional cost and probable delay.
- Appoint a new conveyancer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Nat West Bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to join the Nat West Bank panel of solicitors.
