Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brewood

My Brewood lawyer has discovered a difference between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.

I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Brewood. The Brewood property was put into my name in August. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The CML handbook requires 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 impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation primarily exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

We previously selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Brewood on the RBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate charge for dealing with the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by RBS?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by RBS but by your Brewood solicitor. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Brewood conveyancing practitioners have been chosen. How long does it take for Aldermore to forward the offer to the lawyer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore conducted the survey? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

How does conveyancing in Brewood differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Brewood approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Brewood typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Brewood or who has acted in the same development.

What does commercial conveyancing in Brewood cover?

Brewood conveyancing for business premises incorporates a broad range of guidance, provided by qualified solicitors, relating to business property. For example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the transfer of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of tenancies.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Brewood. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
