We are nearing an exchange on a property in Llanrhystud and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The conveyancer is legally required to clarify with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
My husband and I are purchasing a purpose built flat in Llanrhystud with a homeloan from TSB.We use our Llanrhystud conveyancing solicitor but TSB says his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a TSB panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a TSB panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that TSB use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the TSB approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Llanrhystud completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
About to purchase a new build flat in Llanrhystud. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Llanrhystud
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Llanrhystud I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanrhystud in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
