Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a property in Aldwych but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however RBS are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Your solicitor that is on the RBS conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to RBS of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to report the price change to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Aldwych.
Are the Aldwych conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Nationwide?
Aldwych conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nationwide directly.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Aldwych. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Aldwych?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Aldwych. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision principally exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Santander as we intend to conduct improvements to our house in Aldwych. Do we need to select a local Aldwych solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Santander would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander list.
