The owners have rather assertive sellers who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements generally advanced for Roehampton conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of primary downsides with executing a lock out contract (also referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Roehampton conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is extremely unlikely to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to bar the owner completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in limited scenarios, the extra payment of damages.

We had instructed conveyancers locally in Roehampton on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate amount for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?

I purchased my apartment on 2 August and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Roehampton expressed confidence that it should be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Roehampton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Roehampton registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying my first flat in Roehampton with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Roehampton is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Roehampton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Roehampton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Roehampton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
