is it true that all Mevagissey solicitor firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Mevagissey conveyancing lawyers are instructed. How long does it take for Clydesdale to send the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale conducted the survey? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Mevagissey has been accepted, now what?
Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Call up Skipton or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate documentation. Skipton will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Skipton will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Mevagissey.
I am downsizing from our home in Mevagissey and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Mevagissey lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Mevagissey. We have lived in Mevagissey for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am purchasing a new build house in Mevagissey with a loan from Virgin Money. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it could affect my loan 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.
