Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Copse Hill

I am thinking of mortgaging my property in Copse Hill, does my lawyer need to be on the Leeds Building Society Solicitor panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Copse Hill with a mortgage from Britannia. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it could impact my mortgage with Britannia. 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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Copse Hill in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold property.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Copse Hill. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Copse Hill - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
