After what seems like an age a mortgage offer from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 2 room apartment is coming by the end of next week. Could you recommend a low cost conveyancing law firm in Nuneaton?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Nuneaton. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be seduced by brokers teasing you with £100 conveyancing in Nuneaton. At best, in choosing a lawyer for low cost conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst it will result in you invoiced for extras and still not receive the service required.
My conveyancer has identified a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Nuneaton. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that he must check that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a newbuild apartment in Nuneaton with a residential mortgage from Barclays .We have a Nuneaton conveyancing lawyer but Barclays advised that his firm is not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Barclays panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Barclays panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Barclays solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays
How does conveyancing in Nuneaton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Nuneaton approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Nuneaton usually acquire the real estate, 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 Nuneaton or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Nuneaton I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Nuneaton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
