My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Cromer and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Cromer 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
I am buying my first flat in Cromer with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance 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 have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Cromer I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cromer in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
We are about to acquiring a property in Cromer. Can the conveyancer have our transaction price private from the likes of Nestoria. How could this be done?
The Land Registry by statute are required to note price sold data on the official title for residential properties nationwide including properties in Cromer. The register of ownership is a public document, so HM Land Registry would be breaching their statutory obligations if they did not allow access to the register.
In essence you can make a request of the Land Registry to hide the price paid data but the answer will be in the negative.
