I am purchasing a property in Brunswick Park. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to RBS where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Brunswick Park.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Brunswick Park. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Brunswick Park property lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
We are selling our house in Brunswick Park and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Brunswick Park. Having lived in Brunswick Park for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Brunswick Park I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brunswick Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
Am I right to be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Brunswick Park conveyancing firm?
As with many professional services, often referrals from connections can be most helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may put forward solicitors to appoint. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that most banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
We have chosen a Brunswick Park conveyancing solicitor for our home move (FTB’s) and have noticed in the engagement letter that they are not governed by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be worried or is that usually the case with conveyancer?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set strict rules regulating amounts deposited by them.
