Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Alston?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Alston your solicitor will ask you put them with funds to cover the search fees. Generally this is needed to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is as part of the total price then this should be required shortly before exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due will be payable a couple of days ahead of the day of completion.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Alston 10 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know exactly where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you may purchase or sell your property without a hitch. If copies can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.
I am purchasing a new build house in Alston benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
