My financial adviser requires my Almondsbury solicitor’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have called my local Almondsbury branch but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried calling your Almondsbury lawyer about this?. Most Almondsbury law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Almondsbury completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am buying a new build house in Almondsbury with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
