Is it possible for conveyancing in Silverton to be concluded inside 10 days?
First, If the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will make use of local connections and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Silverton conveyancing firm. In addition, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is understood that 18% of Silverton conveyancing transactions are suspended or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks member panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being held up by an average of three weeks. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Most Silverton conveyancing practices can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Silverton.
I am purchasing a new build house in Silverton with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Silverton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Silverton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Silverton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Silverton may decide 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 property.
My father has recommend that I appoint his conveyancers in Silverton. Do I take his advice?
