My conveyancer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Ivybridge. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the bank are the client. The appropriate lender specifications must be adhered to.
I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Ivybridge for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make 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 Ivybridge conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Ivybridge benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.
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.
