Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Crabtree. Is there a reason why all Crabtree solicitors aren't included on all bank panels?
Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in lenders purging a number of firms from their books of approved property lawyers .
My nephew is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Crabtree with a home loan from HSBC. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the HSBC conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Crabtree. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't find the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Crabtree involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
How does conveyancing in Crabtree differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Crabtree contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Crabtree usually buy the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Crabtree or who has acted in the same development.
