I am purchasing a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Loughton who is on the solicitor. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for in certain locations such as Loughton. We dont recommend any particular firm.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for obstruction in Loughton house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Loughton.

i am purchasing my first flat in Loughton with a loan from . The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it will affect my loan with . 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.
