We are aiming to move property in November. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Isle Of Wight. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent however this can only be done after the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Isle Of Wight or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Isle Of Wight.
Are all Isle Of Wight Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Isle Of Wight agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Isle Of Wight. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Isle Of Wight conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
My colleague advised me that if I am purchasing in Isle Of Wight I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Isle Of Wight?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Isle Of Wight. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm purchasing my first flat in Isle Of Wight with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Isle Of Wight
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Isle Of Wight conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
I wish to let out my leasehold flat in Isle Of Wight. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Even though your last Isle Of Wight conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
