Reply to: advice re. conveyancing and local search

[ddv]

stars aligned today - local searches received.

thanks for the advice and general jokes anyhow chaps!

[Scrag Meister]

Definitely don't exchange and complete prior to the local searches coming back.

What would the situation be if you found that a Bypass is planned through your house in 2015.

IMHO.

They're executive toys for stress.

Have you got planning permission for that playroom, though??

Hello All,
I am getting my first contract, have had my offer accepted and Ltd co ready to go.
Basically everything is ready to go however the 'contract' has not yet been received.
I am due to start on Wednesday and my agent has requested his percentage be transferred/paid in full in advance.
I was told that we could still start on Wednesday WITHOUT a desk/login name/password/id card and was advised by the agent that I can take out an insurance policy with him for £29 to cover not ever getting paid.
I was not told what the insurance is called nor how long it will last or any more specific details.
Is this approach an acceptable one? My only fear is that the agent will stop finding jobs for me after Wednesday/completion - since I have transferred all the monies they will have little incentive to push for my benefit.
any advice on next steps would be appreciated, i'm a newby to dealing with agents!

nice!

Yep, tell me about it.

I bought a car a few years back, turned out the fking thing had been owned by three taxi firms!






















Wish I'd had an expert here check it out first.

Sexy paintwork. I like the matt look.

Shhhhhh. It's my new build.

Everything is fine. All houses have a tin mine in the garden. It's a feature.

But they aren't all advertised and 127 storey 3 bed townhouse with large cellar.

thanks for the responses guys - i didnt give the solicitor a firm go-ahead on the completion date without having received the local search.

tbh being my first property i had no idea whether this was the norm or not, i wasn't entirely happy hence the question asking...

[MarillionFan]

Sounds like you are using the solicitor suggested by the developer or the estate agent. They are trying to steam roller you in. Why the rush? Push the dates out till everything is in and checked and you are 100% happy.

BTW it's a new build i'll be the first owner which might be why the solicitor suggested this route...
