The sellers of the house we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing practitioner in Woodside Park who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements appropriate for Woodside Park conveyancing transactions?
This kind of agreement is not the norm in Woodside Park, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the owner has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a big enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that the owner may obtain by reneging on the agreement, however morally unworthy that may be.
I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Woodside Park. My lender is Virgin
Virgin have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 3/11/2024, the requirements read as follows :
We are purchasing a end of terrace house in Woodside Park. We would like to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal work on the property include enquiries to ascertain if these works were previously refused?
Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Woodside Park can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some additions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I am expecting a AIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Woodside Park solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Woodside Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Woodside Park. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for delay in Woodside Park house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Woodside Park.
