I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Lloyds are being a right pain. The Littleport solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Lloyds are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Littleport has been accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Littleport. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Littleport conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Littleport.
How does conveyancing in Littleport differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Littleport contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Littleport tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Littleport or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Littleport I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Littleport suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
