Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Goodrich but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Kent Reliance will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
Your solicitor being on a Kent Reliance approved list is required to advise Kent Reliance of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Goodrich.
We are purchasing a property and the conveyancer has referenced Chancel Repair for which the property may be liable because it falls into the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Goodrich
Unless a prior purchase of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you may take it that lawyers handling conveyancing in Goodrich to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Goodrich , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Goodrich conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Goodrich registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I'm buying a new build house in Goodrich benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with HSBC Bank. 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Goodrich is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Goodrich are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Goodrich you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Goodrich may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
