I sincerely hope you can help me. My Coombe conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty bound toconduct Coombe conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydsconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Coombe conveyancing searches.
Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Coombe.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Coombe. There are those who acquire a house in Coombe, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Coombe. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also conduct an environmental search. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
Just acquired a terraced house in Coombe , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Coombe conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Coombe registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I'm buying my first flat in Coombe with a mortgage from TSB. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
