I am expecting a mortgage with Halifax. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Avery Hill. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Avery Hill for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Avery Hill conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Avery Hill with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. 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.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Avery Hill I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Avery Hill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
