We see that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Worcestershire?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Worcestershire.

I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Worcestershire. My lender is Virgin

Virgin have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 14/12/2024, the requirements read as follows :

I am buying a property and the lawyer has mentioned Chancel Repair for which the property may be liable because it falls into the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this strictly necessary for conveyancing in Worcestershire

Unless a prior purchase of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Worcestershire to continue to recommend a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.

The deeds to our property can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Worcestershire 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know precisely where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you can purchase or sell your property without a hitch. If duplicates can’t be found, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the property.

I am purchasing a new build house in Worcestershire with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
