Intending to buy a maisonette in Leominster. 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 Yorkshire BS 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 Leominster property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
I have instructed a Leominster conveyancer having checked that they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Leominster surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Leominster has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Yorkshire BS or the broker and finalise any outstanding documentation. Yorkshire BS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Leominster.
I have recently realised that I have 72 years remaining on my flat in Leominster. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor. For most situations a specialist should be useful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Leominster.
