Finally the sale completed on my house in Kimbolton last June yet the purchaser is telephoning every few hours to moan that his conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your sale your conveyancer is obliged to forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor must also evidence that the home loan has been paid off to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Kimbolton.
I am buying a victorian detached house in Kimbolton. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these alterations were previously refused?
Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Kimbolton can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or need the consent of another owner. Some additions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Kimbolton conveyancer on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Kimbolton. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Kimbolton 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title original deeds to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
I'm buying a new build house in Kimbolton with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
