The lawyer who assisted with my previous purchase has quoted £1400 for fixed fee conveyancing in Sileby. I’m hoping to sell a purpose built house for £200,000. This seems too much. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Sileby?

My son is purchasing a newly built flat in Sileby with a mortgage from RBS. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My wife and I buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Sileby. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to see if these alterations are permitted?

How does conveyancing in Sileby differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Sileby come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Sileby tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sileby or who has acted in the same development.
