Our Clarbeston Road conveyancer has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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 both parties.
I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Clarbeston Road. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal work on the property involve enquiries to see if these alterations are prohibited?
Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Clarbeston Road can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or need the permission of another owner. Many extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We previously chose conveyancing lawyers with offices in Clarbeston Road on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by UBS but by your Clarbeston Road solicitor. Some firms on the UBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Kent Reliance as we wish to carry out improvements to our house in Clarbeston Road. Do we need to appoint a nearby Clarbeston Road solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Kent Reliance would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance list.
How does conveyancing in Clarbeston Road differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Clarbeston Road come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Clarbeston Road tend to acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Clarbeston Road or who has acted in the same development.
