Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Finsbury

All was ready to complete my purchase in Finsbury next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Finsbury.

Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Finsbury?

If you are buying a property in Finsbury your solicitor will request that you put them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is payable against the total price then this will be required immediately before contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a few days prior to the completion date.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Finsbury. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?

The first thing you should do is call your lawyer and enquire if they can act for the bank. Otherwise you should get in touch with The Royal Bank of Scotland who may be able to help.

I'm buying a new build house in Finsbury with a loan from HSBC Bank. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Finsbury I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Finsbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
