Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Onslow Village

Our grandson is buying a new build apartment in Onslow Village with a mortgage from HSBC. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the HSBC conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

We see that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Onslow Village?

We are purchasing a end of terrace house in Onslow Village. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve investigations to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?

Your solicitor should review the deeds as conveyancing in Onslow Village can occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of changes or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

Can I be sure that the Onslow Village conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Onslow Village getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Onslow Village is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

How does conveyancing in Onslow Village differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Onslow Village come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Onslow Village usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Onslow Village or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Onslow Village is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Onslow Village are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Onslow Village you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Onslow Village may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
