I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Desborough lawyer on the Principality panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Principality mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Coventry BS are being problematic. The Desborough solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Leeds Building Society have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Desborough has been accepted, now what?
Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Leeds Building Society or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding paperwork. Leeds Building Society will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Leeds Building Society will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Desborough.
My friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Desborough I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is usually quoted for as part of the standard Desborough conveyancing searches. It is a large report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Desborough around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Desborough.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Desborough in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks will not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Desborough. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Desborough to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
I have been pointed in your direction by two or three local property agents in Desborough to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services ahead of another?
We don’t make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a house in Neath but I am based in Desborough. My lawyer (approximately 250 kilometers from mehas requested that I execute a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Desborough who can witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Desborough based
