Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Edenbridge

I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Edenbridge. I have resided for the last 20 years in Edenbridge. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Edenbridge conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your future buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes properties with day to day issues can still throw up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Edenbridge should provide you some constructive advice here.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Aldermore, do Edenbridge lawyers incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

Can I be sure that the Edenbridge conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Edenbridge getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Edenbridge. I have a mortgage agreed with HSBC. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. 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 HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

What does a local search tell me about the house my wife and I purchasing in Edenbridge?

Edenbridge conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search is essential in every Edenbridge conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search should reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.

I used Wolstenholmes a few years past for my conveyancing in Edenbridge. Now, I need my files however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Edenbridge of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Edenbridge with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with Barclays Direct. 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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Edenbridge ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Edenbridge. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
