My husband and I wish to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Laceby with a loan from Barnsley Building Society.We like our Laceby conveyancing practitioner but Barnsley Building Society informed us her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Barnsley Building Society panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies 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 Barnsley Building Society
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Victorian house in Laceby. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Britannia to clarify?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Laceby and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I'm buying a new build house in Laceby benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it may impact my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Laceby is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Laceby are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Laceby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Laceby 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.
