I am purchasing a brand new duplex in Kineton and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and I have no desire to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
We are selling our home in Kineton. Does my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
I am planning to move home in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Kineton. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only occur when the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. You should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Kineton or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Kineton.
I am the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Kineton. The Kineton property was put into my name in November. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in November. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this clause principally exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
My wife and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Kineton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have my conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a home loan with Co-operative.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Co-operative, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Kineton took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 property 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Kineton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kineton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kineton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kineton may ascertain 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 residence.
