At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Swinton and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Swinton you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with provide a national conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Swinton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Swinton?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you accept the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the mortgage company to ask if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Swinton.
I am purchasing a new build house in Swinton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the bank. 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%.
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.
