Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Mildenhall has been agreed to, now what?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Barclays or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Barclays will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Mildenhall.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Mildenhall accepted, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Mildenhall. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Mildenhall conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
Will my lawyer be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Mildenhall.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Mildenhall. Plenty of people will acquire a property in Mildenhall, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their lawyers which should figure out the risks in Mildenhall. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the owner to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading response. A purchaser’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental search. This will higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.
I'm buying a new build house in Mildenhall with a mortgage from TSB. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it may impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
