The Burton Bradstock conveyancing firm handling our Burton Bradstock conveyancing has uncovered a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he needs to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
As someone not used to conveyancing in Burton Bradstock what is your top tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Burton Bradstock
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Burton Bradstock or throughout Dorset is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, property agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Burton Bradstock should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am planning to move house in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Burton Bradstock. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent but this can only occur when the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Burton Bradstock or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Burton Bradstock.
I have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Burton Bradstock. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Aldermore?
Aldermore must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Aldermore will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Burton Bradstock. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Soon after, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Burton Bradstock and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Burton Bradstock conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Burton Bradstock. Having lived in Burton Bradstock for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I'm purchasing my first flat in Burton Bradstock with a mortgage from Britannia. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
