13th May 2020 – COVID-19 virus update
Our office at present remains closed. We continue to work with our regulator, the Council for Licensed Conveyancers, our representative body, The Society of Licensed Conveyancers and other key industry stakeholders.
A new guidance has been released today by the Rgt Hon Robert Jenrick which can be accessed on the following link. The message issued by Public Health is to use a common sense approach, be patient, do not touch anything and wash your hands before and after attending premises outside your own home. Further guidance will follow, possibly today, for the whole of industry and for consumers. This will be shared on our website as soon as this is released.
In the meantime, we will work to protect our clients’ interests and follow both Government and industry guidance in relation to all transactions.
Where applicable we will contact you with updates either on your transaction or information received from Government. We will also work toward moving our client transactions forward as best is possible at this still difficult time. Your cooperation and patience is therefore appreciated in accepting that everyone in the chain is in the same position and matters may well be out of both our and your control.
Please email us on info@vhpl.co.uk with any enquiries. If your call is urgent, please call the emergency contact number 07813334218.

First-time buyers are set to benefit from a Help-to-Buy Isa, which offers a major tax break to those saving up a deposit to make their first step on to the property ladder, the Chancellor announced today. For every £200 that aspiring homeowners save up towards a deposit for their first home, they will receive a top up of another £50, George Osborne announced.
The move will mean that someone saving up a ten per cent deposit on the average first-time buyer property valued at £150,000 will now have to save £12,000 and the government will chip in £3,000 more.
The tax break will be capped at £3,000. The chancellor explained this is the equivalent of first-time buyers saving for their deposit from their pre-tax income. He added: 'We'll work with industry so it's ready for this autumn and we'll make sure you can start saving for it right now.'
A couple saving towards a home together could benefit from a bonus of up to £6,000 as both savers would be eligible for a £3,000 bonus. The move will cut the amount of time first-time buyers will need to save for by just under a year, if they are putting together a five per cent deposit, according to Lloyds.
