My wife and I are in the process of looking at flats in Flamborough and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I am planning to take a mortgage with Nationwide.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, HSBC are being a right pain. The Flamborough solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC 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.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Flamborough has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will wish to be advised as to your conveyancer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Lloyds or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate documentation. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Flamborough.
Me and my brother own a semi-detached Victorian house in Flamborough. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Flamborough and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Flamborough benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it would affect my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Flamborough prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a loan on a flying freehold property.
