I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Thurrock for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Thurrock conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Thurrock with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with . Is this normal?.
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%.

As with many professional services, often referrals from family and friends can be most helpful. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may recommend solicitors to choose. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.
