Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Droitwich Spa

I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Droitwich Spa. What can I do to expedite matters?

First, If you are under a tight deadline to complete it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they could have handled otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Droitwich Spa conveyancing lawyer. In addition, check that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Droitwich Spa conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being delayed by almost 21 days. It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Many Droitwich Spa conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

I am purchasing a garden flat in Droitwich Spa. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Droitwich Spa you will have to appoint a solicitor on your bank's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Droitwich Spa.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Droitwich Spa conveyancing solicitors were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality conducted the valuation? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Droitwich Spa. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Droitwich Spa is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

What can a local search reveal regarding the property I am purchasing in Droitwich Spa?

Droitwich Spa conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations for example Onsearch The local search is essential in every Droitwich Spa conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any nasty surprises after you move into your new home. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject areas.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Droitwich Spa?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Droitwich Spa. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I'm purchasing a new build house in Droitwich Spa with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. 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 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.
