We are buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Upminster who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Upminster.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Upminster 10 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to hold title official documentation to establish that you own the land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I am purchasing a new build house in Upminster with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Upminster is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Upminster are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Upminster you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Upminster may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Upminster and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Upminster. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Upminster area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Upminster. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandmother I am disposing of a house in Swansea but live in Upminster. My solicitor (approximately 260 kilometers awayneeds me to execute a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Upminster to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Upminster
