Our lawyer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Muxton. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must be satisfied that the bank is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
I acquired my home on 2 May and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Muxton expressed confidence that it will be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Muxton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Muxton registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am purchasing my first flat in Muxton with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Is this normal?.
