My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Stocksbridge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Stocksbridge lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Stocksbridge. Having lived in Stocksbridge for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Stocksbridge for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out 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 Stocksbridge conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Stocksbridge with a loan from Virgin Money. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it could affect my mortgage with Virgin Money. Is this normal?.
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.
