My god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Harold Park with a mortgage from RBS. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Harold Park. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Given that you are now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you must find a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are facing a tight deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. An auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke legal pack. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Harold Park bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Harold Park conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, they must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 remaining.
Having digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Harold Park solicitor - who is on the Santander conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Harold Park surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Just acquired a terraced house in Harold Park , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Harold Park conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Harold Park registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying my first flat in Harold Park with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Santander. Is this normal?.
