I'm the only recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Menai Bridge. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the flipping of property.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers based in Menai Bridge on the Santander solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for handling the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Santander?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Santander but by your Menai Bridge conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Santander panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Menai Bridge bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Menai Bridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancer is on the bank approved list, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Menai Bridge 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware precisely where to find all the suitable documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. If duplicates can’t be located, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.
I am buying my first flat in Menai Bridge with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with Virgin Money. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Menai Bridge I like with amenity areas and transport 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 Menai Bridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could 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 consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
