I currently have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Aberdovey. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
You must advise Clydesdale before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Aberdovey. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A few days later, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Co-operative 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 Co-operative 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.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Aberdovey accepted, the sellers do however have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Aberdovey. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Principality going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Aberdovey conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Aberdovey.
I completed on my apartment on 9 January and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Aberdovey advises it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Aberdovey particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Aberdovey registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying a new build house in Aberdovey with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with HSBC Bank. 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.
