Finally the sale completed on my house in Nether Stowey last October but the buyer keeps SMS messaging daily to moan that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your sale your conveyancer is committed to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where appropriate, your lawyer should also evidence that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Nether Stowey.
What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the RBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Nether Stowey?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Principality are being problematic. The Nether Stowey solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My sealed bid on a house in Nether Stowey has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Nether Stowey. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Nether Stowey conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.
I am buying a new build house in Nether Stowey with a mortgage from Aldermore. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will impact my loan with Aldermore. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
