I was told today by my mortgage broker that my Barlaston and Tittensor property lawyer is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
You need to contact your Barlaston and Tittensor conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
Our god-son is purchasing a newly built flat in Barlaston and Tittensor with a home loan from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
How up to date is your database of Barlaston and Tittensor solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Do Clydesdale send you an updated list?
Barlaston and Tittensor conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Clydesdale directly.
I am purchasing a terrace house in Barlaston and Tittensor. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal work on the property include checks to determine if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor can on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of alterations or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some additions require local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am expecting a AIP from Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS recommend any Barlaston and Tittensor solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Barlaston and Tittensor solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Barlaston and Tittensor bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Barlaston and Tittensor conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancer must follow the CML Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am buying a new build apartment in Barlaston and Tittensor. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
