When will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Purley and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Purley you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Purley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am buying a new build house in Purley with a loan from HSBC Bank. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it could adversely 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.
Am I right to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Purley conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be very helpful. But there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may suggest solicitors to instruct. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that the majority of banks specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your house move.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Purley. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Purley who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Purley conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
Notwithstanding our best efforts, we have been unsuccessful in trying to purchase the freehold in Purley. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to assess the price payable.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Purley residence is The Woodlands 95 Purley Park Road in April 2009. The Tribunals own valuation produced the figure of £37,912. This case related to 6 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 78.32 years.
