My husband and I swapping mortgage lender for our flat in Crews Hill with TSB. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the TSB conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to TSB. This is solely used to protect TSB if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of TSB had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Crews Hill is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees for a leasehold premises in Crews Hill is often greater as compared to a freehold transaction. This is because there is an amount of supplemental investigations required in communicating with the freeholder and management company to collate the evidence about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
We are planning to move house in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Crews Hill. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this should only be done once the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Crews Hill or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Crews Hill.
We expect to receive a DIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Crews Hill solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Crews Hill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by RBS. Is it usual for RBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Crews Hill is approved on their conveyancing panel? RBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Should our solicitor be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Crews Hill.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Crews Hill. Plenty of people will buy a house in Crews Hill, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Crews Hill. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the vendor to find out whether the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also carry out an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.
