I am expecting a mortgage with Halifax. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Beccles. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am acquiring a house for cash in Beccles. I have resided for the previous 15 years in Beccles. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Beccles conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where premises with no practical issues can still reveal adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Beccles will provide you some sensible advice concerning this.
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Beccles completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm buying a new build house in Beccles with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.
