This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Newmarket. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Newmarket?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Newmarket. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Newmarket. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
I am expecting a AIP from Lloyds 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 Lloyds recommend any Newmarket solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Newmarket solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
I am purchasing my first flat in Newmarket benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with Alliance & Leicester . Is this normal?.
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.
How and when do I incur stamp duty chargeable for my conveyancing in Newmarket?
The conveyancer should complete a stamp duty return for you as part of your Newmarket purchase transaction for you to sign. After completion your conveyancer will submit your STL Return Form to the Tax Authorities and - assuming they have the funds - pay any Stamp Duty liability for you.
