This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Gallows Corner. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Gallows Corner?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Gallows Corner. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Gallows Corner building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Gallows Corner conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nottingham are being problematic. The Gallows Corner solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Gallows Corner is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Gallows Corner are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Gallows Corner you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gallows Corner may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I have been advised by a number of estate agents in Gallows Corner to select a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My nephew is embarking on her first house purchase, he had his mortgage in principle. When the offer was accepted on apartment we called the mortgage institution to progress the mortgage application. We were disappointed to hear that mortgage companies do not accept all conveyancer, they need to be on their approved list, is this correct?
Lenders normally imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Gallows Corner conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
