As someone clueless as to conveyancing in Patcham what is your top tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Patcham
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Patcham and elsewhere in East Sussex is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and on occasion a bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Patcham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose interest is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser 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 buying a new build house in Patcham with a loan from Britannia. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the landlord. For most situations an enquiry agent should be helpful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Patcham.
