My husband and I are purchasing a newly built duplex in Marshalls Park and my conveyancer is informing me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I have no desire to prolong the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Marshalls Park and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Marshalls Park you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Marshalls Park)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a Marshalls Park based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the probability is that allocate you one of their panel lawyers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Call the bank to determine if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Marshalls Park.
We are buying a victorian detached house in Marshalls Park. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Marshalls Park will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain works or require the permission of a 3rd party. Many extensions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
