We wanted to use a property lawyer in Hemsworth for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Nottingham Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Before the recession most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Hemsworth conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more information from law firms concerning their operations and their employees and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of transactions. Many Hemsworth conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Hemsworth is amongst the hundreds of locations where the lawyers showing on our search results are are approved Nottingham Building Society.
I am purchasing a new build house in Hemsworth with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it may impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Hemsworth
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Hemsworth conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
