Recently asked questions about conveyancing in East Leake

My wife and I intend to remortgage our maisonette in East Leake with Virgin Money. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Virgin Money. This is solely used to protect Virgin Money if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Virgin Money had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

I am helping my step-mother sell her property in East Leake. Does the solicitor commission the EPC or should I organise this?

After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was left as a required component of moving property. An energy performance certificate should be to hand in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a East Leake conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with reputable East Leake providers

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up UBS or the broker and finalise any relevant documentation.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. UBS will issue the offer to you and your lawyers.

I'm purchasing my first flat in East Leake with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it may adversely affect my loan 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.
