My wife and I are intent on purchasing a flat in Mobberley. My lawyer is not on the lender conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my Mobberley conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
One will need to appoint a lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you take out a loan to purchase your home. The lawyer will conduct all the appropriate investigations on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in order. You can instruct a Mobberley solicitor of your choice. However, if the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the lender approved list additional fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not previously sought membership they can do so.
My partner and I changing mortgage lender for our apartment in Mobberley with Coventry BS. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Coventry BS. This is solely used to protect Coventry BS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Coventry BS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
I own a freehold house in Mobberley yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Mobberley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Mobberley but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Mobberley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Mobberley conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Mobberley is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
