We instructed a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Whimple recently. Looking through the terms of engagement I seeI am responsible for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to use a web based conveyancing company advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Whimple?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset the transactions that abort. Dont forget that such arrangements tend not to protect you from expenses such your Whimple conveyancing search costs.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Whimple? Why is this being asked of me?
Whimple conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Bank Statement no more than three months).
Confirmation of source of monies is also necessary under the money laundering regulations as solicitors are mandated to ensure that the money you are utilising to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase price where you are a cash purchaser) has come from legitimate source (such as employment savings) rather than the fruits of illegitimate behaviour.
The deeds to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Whimple 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know precisely where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you can purchase or sell your house without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be located, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.
I am buying a new build house in Whimple benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. 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.
