My partner and I are acquiring a new build duplex in Biggin Hill and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and my preference is not to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Biggin Hill. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Biggin Hill involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
The Biggin Hill conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Biggin Hill have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous Biggin Hill lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Biggin Hill I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Biggin Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
