Do I need to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Arkley so that I can attend their offices if necessary.

Nowadays conveyancing panel lawyers for banks undertake all of the work via the post, internet or over the phone. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction regardless of where you live in the country. However you can see if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if needed.

My colleague advised me that if I am buying in Arkley I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Arkley conveyancing searches. It is a large report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Arkley around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Arkley.

I have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Arkley for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Arkley conveyancing specialists.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Arkley with a mortgage from TSB. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with TSB. 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 will soon spend £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Arkley I would like to talk to a solicitor about myconveyancing ahead of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Arkley should be the figure that you end up paying.
