What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Silverton
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Silverton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I am planning to move home in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Silverton. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent but this should only be done when the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Silverton or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Silverton.
My sealed bid on a house in Silverton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Silverton. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money started?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Silverton conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Silverton?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Silverton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am purchasing a new build house in Silverton with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
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%.
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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Silverton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Silverton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
