Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brackla

Our lawyer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Brackla. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must ensure that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications 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 mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Brackla?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Brackla your solicitor will request that you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is needed to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is as part of the sale price then this should be needed shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due will be payable a few days prior to the day of completion.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Brackla. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. Some mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this obligation principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

We had chosen conveyancers locally in Brackla on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Brackla property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
