I am selling my home in Dorking. Does the lawyer have to be required to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Dorking. The Dorking property was put into my name in July. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this requirement primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
About to purchase house in Dorking. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dorking conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
Nottingham have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Dorking has been accepted, what happens next?
Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Nottingham or your financial adviser and finish off any relevant forms. Nottingham will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Dorking.
