I am acquiring a property mortgage free in Deeside. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Deeside. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Deeside conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do take into account; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it may be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where houses with no practical issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Deeside will be able to give you some sensible advice here.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Deeside conveyancing solicitors are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative completed the valuation? Have you advised Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My wife and I are in the process of looking at apartments in Deeside and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have a conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with TSB.
It would be wise to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Deeside. I have a mortgage offer with Principality. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.
I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of obstruction in Deeside conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Deeside.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Deeside with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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 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.
