I am expecting a DIP from Kent Reliance this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Narborough solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Narborough solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
Our offer on a semi in Narborough has been agreed to, the sellers do however have an associated purchase. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Narborough. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Narborough conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. As to the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Narborough.
How does conveyancing in Narborough differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Narborough come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Narborough usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Narborough or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Narborough I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Narborough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
