The Hampton Wick conveyancing firm handling our Hampton Wick conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is obliged to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach right?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
Do lawyers request money on account for my conveyancing in Hampton Wick?
If you are buying a property in Hampton Wick your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is requested to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is as part of the purchase price then this should be required immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Hampton Wick conveyancing solicitors have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from RBS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS completed the survey? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My wife and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Hampton Wick and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this point? I will be getting a home loan with Kent Reliance.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Principality are being a right pain. The Hampton Wick solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.
