I am in the process of selling my flat in Elland and the EA has just e-mailed to say that the purchasers are appointing a new property lawyer. I am told that this is due to the fact that the lender will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a big named lender only deal with specific lawyers rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Elland ?
Banks have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, but in the last few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for many years.
Banks point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the pruning – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to oversee. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your buyers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.
At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Elland and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Elland you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Elland)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am purchasing a new build house in Elland with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about this deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
