I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Hermon. I I would like to check whether they are on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should call your solicitor and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise you should call Chelsea Building Society who may be able to help.
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 called my Hermon building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Hermon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner has to follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
UBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Hermon has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up UBS or the broker and finalise any relevant forms. UBS will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. UBS will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hermon.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Hermon agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Hermon. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Hermon conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Hermon.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Hermon completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Hermon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hermon contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Hermon tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Hermon or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hermon is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Hermon are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hermon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hermon may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
