As someone not used to conveyancing in Laindon what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the house moving process in Laindon
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Laindon and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial 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 ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially the bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Laindon should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Laindon benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will impact 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.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Cardiff but I am based in Laindon.

I am intending to let out my leasehold flat in Laindon. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Some leases for properties in Laindon do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
