My mortgage broker has asked me for my Englefield Green law firm’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local Englefield Green office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Englefield Green conveyancer . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
AssumingI were to acquire a straightforward homein Englefield Green mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Englefield Green?
The only saving you would achieve is the Englefield Green conveyancing searches. Your property lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it will not be a lot.
I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Englefield Green. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision primarily exists to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Englefield Green conveyancing practitioners are instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland completed the survey? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, RBS are being difficult. The Englefield Green solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Englefield Green concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
About to purchase a new build flat in Englefield Green. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Englefield Green
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Englefield Green I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Englefield Green for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
