My friend's dad is a property lawyer. I suspect that I'll be able to get mate’s fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Rush Green?
Do contrast pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this site. Whilst charges will contrast greatly but the service one can expect differ between solicitors as is the case with most professions.
I am assisting my niece sell her flat in Rush Green. Does the solicitor commission an EPC or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s remained a mandatory part of selling a house. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned prior to the property being placed on the market. It is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Rush Green conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable Rush Green assessors
How can we tell if a Rush Green conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Rush Green seeking recommendations is a sensible start. 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 advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Rush Green bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Rush Green conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Rush Green for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Rush Green conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in Rush Green with a loan from Santander. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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%.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Rush Green
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Rush Green conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by head office.
