Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Droylsden

The Droylsden conveyancing firm handling our Droylsden conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance correct?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

We see that you have a post code search directory listing firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Droylsden?

We're in Droylsden, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is HSBC , and our solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Droylsden. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?

Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Principality conveyancing panel solicitor.

RBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Droylsden has been accepted, what happens next?

Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone RBS or your broker and complete any outstanding documentation. RBS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. RBS will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Droylsden.

My sealed bid on a semi in Droylsden has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Droylsden. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Lloyds started?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Droylsden conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Lloyds approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
