I am selling my flat in Leaves Green. Does my conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative 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 requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
My fiancee and I are in the process of looking at apartments in Leaves Green and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a home loan with Lloyds.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
About to purchase flat in Leaves Green. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Leaves Green lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
My sealed bid on a property in Leaves Green has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Leaves Green. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Leaves Green conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the HSBC approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with HSBC and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to press on with searches.
I am purchasing a new build house in Leaves Green with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Barclays . Is this normal?.
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.
