I am expecting a AIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Bargoed solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Bargoed solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
I currently have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Bargoed. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
You must advise Barclays prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel firm.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, HSBC are being a right pain. The Bargoed solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am purchasing a new build house in Bargoed with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
We are four weeks into a freehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Bargoed. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
They would have to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been issued? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-issued. The conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added expenses and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers. Our find a solicitor tool should help you find a lender approved solicitor for your home move in Bargoed
Why is it not possible to complete my conveyancing in Bargoed on Easter Monday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the money will pass between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only take place on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a saturday or sunday either.
