We are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Woodley but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Barclays will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
The lawyer that is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Barclays of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to report the price change to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Woodley.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Woodley. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Woodley?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We are due to move property in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Woodley. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent but this can only happen once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Woodley or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Woodley.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Woodley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am purchasing my first flat in Woodley with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage 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.
Taking into account that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a two bedroom apartment in Woodley I wish to talk to a lawyer regarding thetransaction in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Woodley. I have stumble across a web site which seems to have the perfect solution If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Woodley. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Woodley - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I inherited a 2 bed flat in Woodley, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Woodley with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2089
With 64 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £14,300 and £16,400 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
