At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Hotwells and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Hotwells you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hotwells)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Hotwells. I need to find out if they are on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
You should contact the conveyancer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise you should get in touch with Chelsea Building Society who may be able to confirm.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Hotwells completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am purchasing a new build house in Hotwells with a loan from HSBC Bank. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it may impact my loan 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.
