My conveyancer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Cilfynydd. The other side have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must ensure that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions 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 bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.
It is is a decade since I bought my property in Cilfynydd. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Cilfynydd relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of stalling in Cilfynydd house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Cilfynydd.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Cilfynydd with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it would impact my mortgage 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Cilfynydd I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cilfynydd suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
