The sellers of the home we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing firm in Kimbolton who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such arrangements generally advanced for Kimbolton conveyancing transactions?
This kind of contract is not the norm in Kimbolton, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the proprietor has executed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they are offered a big enough offer to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not amount to the financial upside that your seller may secure by breaching the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Kimbolton house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Kimbolton.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Kimbolton 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know precisely where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or sell your property without a hitch. If copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Kimbolton benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Kimbolton before appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks will not grant a loan on this type of premises.
