When can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Belmont and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?

Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Belmont you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed 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. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Belmont)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Belmont with a loan from TSB.We use our Belmont conveyancing solicitor but TSB says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a TSB panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that TSB use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the TSB solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB

I am buying a new build house in Belmont with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could affect my loan with the bank. 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.
