Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Llanharan. Is there a reason why all Llanharan conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This led to mortgage companies purging a number of firms from their books of approved solicitors .
I am approaching an exchange on a house in Llanharan and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
What will a local search reveal concerning the house my wife and I buying in Llanharan?
Llanharan conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for example Searchflow The local search is essential in every Llanharan conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search should reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic sections.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Llanharan 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
