AssumingI was to acquire a straightforward propertyin Beverley for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Beverley?
Any savings you would make will be limited to the disbursement for searches. The conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your vendors solicitor, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Beverley conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. How long does it take for Nottingham to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nottingham conducted the valuation? Have you informed Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Beverley. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Santander be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Santander where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Beverley.
I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Beverley property lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
