My lawyer has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Evesham. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must check that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender requirements must be adhered to.
When can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Evesham and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Evesham you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts 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 an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Evesham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Evesham. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Nottingham Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you help?
You should e-mail your conveyancer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please get in touch with Nottingham Building Society who may be able to assist.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Evesham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Evesham lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Evesham. Having lived in Evesham for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Evesham I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Evesham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
