I was pointed in your direction by numerous property agents in Great Ayton to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your services over a competitor’s?
We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Great Ayton
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Great Ayton conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
My mum and dad are experiencing problems in finding their Great Ayton property on the HM Land Registry site. They recall that back in the 70’s when they bought the bungalow there were complications regarding the post code not being recognised in some systems.
The vast majority of premises in Great Ayton should show up. Have you limited your search to simply the postcode. Ordinarily it should reveal all the premises within that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which may be with your parent’s mortgage company.
