We intend to purchase a newly converted apartment in Angmering with a mortgage from Virgin Money.We use our Angmering conveyancing practitioner but Virgin Money informed us her practice is not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Virgin Money panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Virgin Money panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Virgin Money use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Virgin Money approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money
I have a renovated Edwardian house in Angmering. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Angmering and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Angmering benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Angmering with the intention of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Angmering can be avoided if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ representatives. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Organising a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy formality and delays many a Angmering home move. Where a duplicate share certificate is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. A minority of Angmering leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers.
I purchased a 1st floor flat in Angmering, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar properties in Angmering with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2102
With just 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
I am just shy of a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Angmering , but I am keen go ahead. What can I do?
One option is to try and accept a lower deposit. Many vendors will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
