I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Boreham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Boreham conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Boreham. Having lived in Boreham for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I'm purchasing a new build house in Boreham with a mortgage from . The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it may affect my mortgage 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Boreham is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Boreham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Boreham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Boreham 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 premises.

Our solicitor in Boreham has discovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Boreham. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that as he is on the bank conveyancing panel he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
Just because you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will be meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage.
