My wife and I are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Manor House but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Co-operative are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Any conveyancer being on a Co-operative approved list is obliged to advise Co-operative of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to report the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Manor House.
How up to date is your database of Manor House solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Do Bank of Ireland send you an updated list?
Manor House conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Bank of Ireland directly.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Manor House and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to commercial tenants, granting the a statutory right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Manor House
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Manor House
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Manor House conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
My partner and I have an offer in principle from Bank of Ireland who said we could borrow up to £400k. At what point do we need to appoint a lawyer for conveyancing? Manor House is where we plan to move to.
You can appoint a solicitor now and ask them to create a file for you. This will enable: 1) the estate agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to submit the draft contract. That being said, do not instruct your conveyancer to order searches until you receive your valuation report from Bank of Ireland and you are willing to proceed.
