The best course of action for you to take is to call your North Woolwich conveyancer. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.

Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one reason for delay in North Woolwich house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in North Woolwich.

I am purchasing my first flat in North Woolwich with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it would affect my loan with Bank of Ireland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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%.

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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in North Woolwich I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North Woolwich for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I'm remortgaging my primary house to a buy to let mortgage with Skipton Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a deposit on further property.

Do use our comparison tool on this page to ensure that the solicitors are approved by both banks. On the basis that they are your lawyer will be able to tie up the two transactions but you should talk with you solicitor and communicate your desired outcome and needs.

I am a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in North Woolwich. I am am starting to be frustrated with the level of service. Can you help me find new lawyers?
