Can conveyancing in Hampton Hill to be finalised inside two weeks?
In the event that you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they could have handled previousproperties in the same street. Therefore consider using a Hampton Hill conveyancing lawyer. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Hampton Hill conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being delayed by almost 21 days. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home moves annually. Almost all Hampton Hill conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
I'm buying a new build house in Hampton Hill with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will adversely affect 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Hampton Hill I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hampton Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Hampton Hill where we have witnessed a number of flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Hampton Hill conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

We are about to buying a home in Hampton Hill. Could our conveyancer keep our purchase price a secret from the likes of Nestoria. Is this achievable and how?
The Land Registry as a matter of law obliged to note price sold information on the official title for residential properties countrywide including properties in Hampton Hill. The Title Register is a public document, so the Land Registry would be breaking the law if they did not grant access to the register.
You can ask HMLR to hide the amount paid data however the response would be in the negative.
