As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Keston?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Keston or throughout Kent is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion the lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Keston should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above all other parties in the home moving process.
My property lawyer in Keston has never been on on the Nottingham Building Society Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Nottingham Building Society approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Keston solicitors but Nottingham Building Society will need to instruct a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total legal charges and cause delays.
- Get a new solicitor to act in the purchase, remembering to check they are Nottingham Building Society approved.
- Persuade your Nottingham Building Society solicitor to try to join the Nottingham Building Society panel
I'm buying my first flat in Keston with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd. 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%.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and service charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
