The Brewood conveyancing firm handling our Brewood conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
When it comes to lenders such as Lloyds, do Brewood property lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am expecting a AIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Brewood solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Brewood solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being a right pain. The Brewood solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I moved into my apartment on 6 October and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Brewood said it will be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Brewood particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Brewood registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Brewood with the aim of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Brewood can be reduced where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to verify this by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is less than 75 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. Many landlords or Management Companies in Brewood charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Brewood. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a Brewood conveyancing transaction. If a new share certificate is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity.
