Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Summertown?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Summertown your lawyer will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is payable against the total price then this will be needed immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is due will be payable a couple of days prior to the day of completion.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Summertown. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Summertown and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Summertown with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the bank. 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.
