Me and my wife are purchasing our first property. Our property lawyer has messagedto ask if we would like to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Guisborough
The type of Guisborough conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your general appetite to risk. What is important is that you properly appreciate what information each search could supply. Then you can decide if you personally think you need that information. If in doubt, ask your solicitor to guide you.
I am purchasing a property in Guisborough. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nottingham have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Nottingham where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Guisborough.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Guisborough. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Co-operative have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Guisborough has been agreed to, now what?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Co-operative or your financial adviser and complete any relevant paperwork. Co-operative will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to get a mortgage offer. Co-operative will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Guisborough.
I am buying a new build house in Guisborough with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the extras as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Guisborough I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Guisborough for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer 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 can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
