Our solicitor has discovered a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Beddington. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the bank is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
When does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Beddington and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Beddington you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Beddington)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Beddington?
Do check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel lawyers where you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the bank and explore if they allow a monetary alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Beddington.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Beddington is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Beddington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Beddington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Beddington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
