My wife and I are buying a apartment in Eccleston. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we will need to send money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I just acquired a house at auction in Eccleston. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Given that you are now to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should appoint a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the deal. Every auction property should have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to the lawyer working for you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Barclays are being problematic. The Eccleston solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am purchasing my first flat in Eccleston with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it may put at risk my loan 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.
