My husband and I are acquiring a newly built apartment in Kelvedon and my lawyer is informing me that she has to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the seller. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and I would rather not delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Should my conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Kelvedon.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Kelvedon. Some people will acquire a property in Kelvedon, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Kelvedon. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro search. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Kelvedon. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Kelvedon
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Kelvedon
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Kelvedon conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
We are soon to buying a apartment in Kelvedon. Can our conveyancer keep our transaction price confidential from sites such as Nestoria. How could this be achieved ?
The Land Registry are legally required to disclose price paid data on a register of the title for domestic properties countrywide including homes in Kelvedon. The register of ownership is a public document, so HM Land Registry would be breaking the law if they did not allow access to the register.
You can ask the Land Registry to withhold the price paid entry however the answer will be in the negative.
