In the event thatI was to acquire a straightforward housein Parbold for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Parbold?
Any savings you would achieve will be limited to the disbursement for searches. A solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your vendors conveyancer, SDLT return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it won't be a lot.
At what point will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Parbold and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Parbold you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Parbold)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Me and my brother own a terraced Edwardian house in Parbold. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Parbold and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Parbold with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with Nottingham Building Society. 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.
