My partner and I are buying a newly constructed apartment in Radlett and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I would rather not prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Radlett but can you isolate your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Radlett
Do not opt for the cheapest Radlett conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Can I be sure that the Radlett conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Radlett getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Radlett. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Radlett solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
We are intent on selling our house in Radlett and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Radlett conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Radlett. We have lived in Radlett for many years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
The deeds to our property are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Radlett 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Radlett I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Radlett in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
