The housing market in Rugeley is hotting up. What can be done to quicken up the conveyancing process?
First, If the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will make use of local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they may have conducted previoushouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Rugeley conveyancing firm. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Rugeley conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the conveyancing being frustrated by an average of three weeks. It is believed that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home moves annually. Many Rugeley conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
We are intent on selling our property in Rugeley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Rugeley lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Rugeley. Having lived in Rugeley for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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)
I'm purchasing my first flat in Rugeley with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. 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 house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Rugeley is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Rugeley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rugeley 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 Rugeley may decide 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 residence.

Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Rugeley?
Rugeley conveyancing on leasehold flats normally requires the purchaser’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries most will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is above £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
