My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Leigh On Sea. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the Aldermore approved list of lawyers. Could you help?
The first thing you should do is phone your lawyer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please get in touch with Aldermore who may be able to confirm.
I am the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Leigh On Sea. The Leigh On Sea property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this clause chiefly exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Leigh On Sea. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is TSB your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Leigh On Sea.
My husband and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Leigh On Sea and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a lawyer in place at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Aldermore.
It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
