Me and my fiancee are buying our first house. Our lawyer has texted usto see if we would like to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's appropriate for conveyancing in Great Shelford
The number and type of Great Shelford conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the property, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What is important is that you adequately appreciate what information each search could give you. Then you can decide if you personally think you need that information. If uncertain, ask the conveyancer to offer guidance.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Great Shelford? Is this really necessary?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Great Shelford conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are duty bound to validate not only the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your solicitor cancelling their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers will have an obligation to inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Great Shelford. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Great Shelford building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Great Shelford conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, they must adhere to the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Great Shelford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money 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 Great Shelford lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Great Shelford I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Great Shelford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
