Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thrapston

My son-in-law is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Thrapston with a mortgage from Principality. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Principality 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 Principality conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Thrapston what would it be?

Do not opt for the lowest Thrapston conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am aiming to move home in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Thrapston. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your page.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent however this can only take place when the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Thrapston or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Thrapston.

I am intending to rent out my leasehold flat in Thrapston. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

Even though your last Thrapston conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek consent from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
