My wife and I are intending to acquire a 2 bedroom apartment in Laceby with a mortgage. We like our Laceby conveyancer, however the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to select one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Laceby conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to demand that the lender use our Laceby property lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 Laceby conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My grandfather passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Laceby. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to RBS, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Given you intend to re-mortgage then RBS will require that you use a conveyancer on the RBS conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your RBS conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the RBS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Laceby took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 premises 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'm buying a new build house in Laceby with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Laceby and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to business leaseholders, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
