I am expecting a mortgage offer from Halifax. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Boncath. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
The owners have very pushy vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of primary concerns with entering into any lock out agreement (also known as an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated amongst Boncath conveyancing lawyers as a result. A further concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is not likely to secure an injunction to bar the owner completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of wasted charges and, in limited situations, the additional payment of damages.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the main reason for stalling in Boncath conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Boncath.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Boncath concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 my first flat in Boncath with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
