Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Hanworth but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Santander will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
Your solicitor that is on the Santander conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Santander of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the reduction to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Hanworth.
Me and my partner are purchasing a house in Hanworth. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
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.
We are aiming to move property in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Hanworth. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this should only occur when the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Hanworth or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Hanworth.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Bank of Ireland are being pedantic. The Hanworth solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland 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 buying a new build house in Hanworth with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. 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.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Hanworth basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Hanworth conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Hanworth do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I am the proprietor of a second floor flat in Hanworth. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?
Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Hanworth conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Hanworth flat is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 82.93 years.
