My Conveyancer in Isleworth is not on the TSB Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the TSB list of approved lawyers?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your existing Isleworth lawyers but TSB will need to retain a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal charges and cause frustration.
- Get a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the TSB panel
I have justfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Isleworth for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Isleworth conveyancing specialists.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Isleworth with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it would affect my loan with Chelsea Building Society. 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Isleworth ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to issue a mortgage on such a home.
