Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Nunthorpe

I plan on buying residence in Nunthorpe. My property lawyer is not on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Nunthorpe conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?

One will need to appoint a property lawyer to complete the formalities if you need a loan to buy your home. They will conduct all the relevant investigations on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in order. You may select a Nunthorpe lawyer of your choosing. However, if the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not on the bank solicitor panel additional fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Nunthorpe and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

The conveyancer is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Nunthorpe before retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a loan on this type of premises.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Nunthorpe from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Nunthorpe can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors.
  • Many landlords or managing agents in Nunthorpe levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Nunthorpe. Some Nunthorpe leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than ongoing. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Organising a new share certificate can be a lengthy formality and delays many a Nunthorpe home move. Where a reissued share is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity.
