My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Aberporth. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is call the lawyer and ask them if they can act for the bank. Otherwise please get in touch with Yorkshire Building Society who may be able to help.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Aberporth. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Aberporth.
We were going to get a AIP from Nottingham this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Aberporth solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Aberporth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Aberporth. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Santander 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 Santander 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.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Aberporth I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Aberporth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but live in Aberporth. My conveyancer (who is 235 miles from merequires that I sign a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Aberporth to attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Aberporth based
When it comes to my conveyancing in Aberporth should I be charged VAT on the following: (1) Land reg fee on purchase (2) Pre - completion search fee (3) SDLT E submission on purchase (4) Bank TT fee
(1) Land reg fee on purchase - No (2) Pre - completion search fees -No, (such conveyancing searches are HMLR ones and means £4 and possibly £2 bankruptcy per name on your mortgage) (3) SDLT E submission on your purchase - There is no VAT on Stamp Duty. However if the firm is charging a stamp duty e-submission fee as part of their services - some Aberporth conveyancers do - that will incur VAT(4) Bank transfer fee - Yes it is for the conveyancer's time in submitting the funds this way.
