Me and my partner are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Heaton Moor with a mortgage. We have a Heaton Moor lawyer, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Heaton Moor lawyer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Heaton Moor conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
I am selling our home in Heaton Moor and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Heaton Moor. We have lived in Heaton Moor for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am purchasing a new build house in Heaton Moor with a loan from Virgin Money. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
