My wife and I are due to complete buying a property in Gaydon but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Nottingham will not permit this. Why were they notified?
Any conveyancer that is on a Nottingham conveyancing panel is required to advise Nottingham of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the reduction to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Gaydon.
My Conveyancer in Gaydon is not on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Godiva Mortgages Ltd list of approved lawyers?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Carry on with your existing Gaydon lawyers but Godiva Mortgages Ltd will need to use a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total conveyancing charges and result in delays.
- Get an alternative lawyer to to deal with the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved.
- Persuade your Godiva Mortgages Ltd solicitor to seek to join the Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel
I have been told that property searches are a common reason for hinderance in Gaydon conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Gaydon.
I have todaybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Gaydon for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the premises 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 Gaydon conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing my first flat in Gaydon with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would put at risk 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.
