Can you help? My Carlton solicitor is advising me that he has toconduct Carlton conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydsconveyancing panel. Do I not have any say here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Carlton conveyancing searches.
Are the Carlton conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Nationwide?
Carlton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nationwide directly.
Will commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Carlton?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Carlton will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Carlton. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Carlton.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Carlton it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may cause delays to Carlton commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Carlton.
Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Carlton. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Carlton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I'm buying my first flat in Carlton with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
