When will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Haydon Bridge and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Haydon Bridge you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Haydon Bridge)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am downsizing from our property in Haydon Bridge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Haydon Bridge lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Haydon Bridge. Having lived in Haydon Bridge for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 sickness)
I am purchasing a new build house in Haydon Bridge benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Haydon Bridge is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Haydon Bridge are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Haydon Bridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Haydon Bridge may determine 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 property.

For most Haydon Bridge leaseholds the outlay for major works are not wrapped into the service charges, although there some managing agents in Haydon Bridge require leasehold owners to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for major repairs or maintenance. The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the tenants benefit from control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often employed if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability?
