I am buying a property in Felpham. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?
Given that your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Felpham.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Felpham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS 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 Felpham property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Felpham has been accepted, now what?
The property agent will need to be advised as to your lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Barclays or your broker and finish off any appropriate forms. Barclays will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Felpham.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Felpham 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Felpham I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Felpham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
