We had selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Kinver on the RBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional charge for dealing with the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by RBS but by your Kinver solicitor. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
How can we know in advance if a Kinver conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Kinver seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
I am purchasing my first flat in Kinver benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could affect my loan with the lender. 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.
I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Kinver. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the maintenance contribution as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
