What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Hartfield?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Hartfield and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, estate agent and even potentially a lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Hartfield is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose interest is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Hartfield. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nationwide be concerned?
As your lender is Nationwide your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Hartfield.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Hartfield bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Hartfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
