Why is using AI not as effective as an Initial Consultation with a Family Law Specialist?

AI is a useful tool for understanding the basic principles of family law. It can identify legal frameworks and generate standard solutions to problems; however, there are three main limitations to utilising AI as an alternative to having an initial consultation with a family law specialist.

Kew Law’s Frequently Asked Questions - Residential Property

Question: How much can I borrow from a lender?

Answer:

Mortgage lenders’ criteria vary greatly depending on the nature of the transaction and the borrower’s individual circumstances. Factors may include whether the property is a “buy to let” and the nature of the borrower’s employment and the amount of deposit the borrower has in place to “put down”. Lenders will also assess factors such as credit history, monthly outgoings, existing financial commitments, and future expenditure to determine whether the mortgage repayments are affordable based on your financial situation.

A larger deposit may increase a borrower’s borrowing potential, while also potentially giving access to more competitive interest rates and a wider range of mortgage products.

Make sure you research the mortgage market carefully and take advice from a qualified Independent Financial Advisor. When you are ready to begin your house-buying journey, our experienced conveyancing team is here to guide you through every stage of the home-buying process. Whether you're a first-time buyer or have moved home before, we will be on hand to explain each step clearly and keep you informed throughout your transaction.

Kew Law's Frequently Asked Questions – Residential Property

Question: Can you accept a higher offer after agreeing to sell?

Answer:

Yes. Until contracts have been exchanged, either party can withdraw from the transaction or renegotiate the terms without incurring a penalty. If a seller accepts a higher offer after already agreeing to a sale, this is known as gazumping. This situation can be very disappointing for buyers who will have committed time, energy and financial resources, potentially in valuation and legal fees. Equally, a buyer is able to renegotiate terms up until exchange and offer a lower purchase price.

Are you thinking of buying, selling or remortgaging a property? Our experienced conveyancing team is here to help. Make sure you instruct solicitors with a solid property background, just like Kew Law, so that your transaction proceeds as efficiently as possible to exchange of contracts to minimise any period of uncertainty. Contact us today for a no-obligation conveyancing estimate; call our New Business Team on 0800 987 8156.

The Rules of Intestacy

The Rules of Intestacy determine how a person’s estate will be distributed in England and Wales if they die without a valid Will, or if their Will does not fully deal with all their assets. These rules set out a strict order of inheritance, with spouses or civil partners and children usually inheriting first, followed by other relatives such as parents, siblings, and more distant family members where appropriate.

For more information about who may be entitled to inherit under the Rules of Intestacy, or for answers to frequently asked questions, check out our free legal guide, “The Rules of Intestacy”, from our website: https://ow.ly/xXCW50ZP1eK
