My lawyer has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Holywell. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the bank is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender specifications have to be complied with.
We decided to purchase a purpose built apartment in Holywell with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society.We use our Holywell conveyancing lawyer but Nationwide Building Society informed us his firm is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Nationwide Building Society panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nationwide Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Nationwide Building Society solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society
Just bought a semi-detached house in Holywell , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Holywell conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Holywell registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Holywell differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Holywell contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Holywell tend to buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Holywell or who has acted in the same development.
