We hired a Lynmouth based lawyer for our conveyancing in Lynmouth yesterday. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I seewe are liable for costs even if the movedoes not happen. Would I be best advised to use an internet lawyer who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Lynmouth?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to cover the transactions that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these arrangements generally do not protect you from expenditure such your Lynmouth conveyancing search charges.
I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Lynmouth. Does the solicitor commission an EPC or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was maintained a mandatory element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand before the property is marketed. It is not something that lawyers normally organise. Where you are using a Lynmouth conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors
is it true that all Lynmouth solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Santander approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be governed by the CLC.
I am expecting a AIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Lynmouth solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Lynmouth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
I am purchasing a new build house in Lynmouth with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Lynmouth ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a mortgage on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can look into this further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Lynmouth. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Lynmouth especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Lynmouth.
