We previously chose solicitors located in Emerson Park on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional charge for the legal aspects of the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Emerson Park property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Emerson Park. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
About to purchase house in Emerson Park. 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 Nottingham 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 Emerson Park property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
A colleague advised me that if I am buying in Emerson Park I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Emerson Park conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Emerson Park around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Emerson Park.
I have a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Emerson Park. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Emerson Park and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I am purchasing my first flat in Emerson Park with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with Virgin Money. Is this normal?.
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.
