Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Beacon Hill?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
Please help - my lawyer says that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Beacon Hill?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Beacon Hill. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement principally exists to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nottingham, do Beacon Hill property lawyers face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Beacon Hill?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Beacon Hill. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am buying a new build house in Beacon Hill with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will impact my loan with the lender. 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.
