AssumingI were to buy a simple residential housein Markyate for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Markyate?
Any savings you would make would be isolated to the Markyate conveyancing searches. The lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your vendors solicitor, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.
We are selling our property in Markyate and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Markyate. We have lived in Markyate for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have recentlydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Markyate for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Markyate conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing my first flat in Markyate with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 opted to have a survey done on a house in Markyate before retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Markyate. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Markyate to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
It's been ten years since I last purchased a house. A quick search suggests that the costs vary significantly. Please can you recommend a cheap Markyate conveyancer that would assist me as well as represent Principality?
