My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Claverley. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you help?
You should call the solicitor and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should get in touch with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society who may be able to help.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Claverley?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Claverley. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am buying my first flat in Claverley benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it could impact my loan with The Mortgage Works. 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.
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Claverley in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend not give a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
