IfI was to acquire a simple residential propertyin Osterley mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Osterley?
The sole saving you would achieve is the Osterley conveyancing searches. Your lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the vendors property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.
The Osterley conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Osterley have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a firm on the RBS conveyancing panel and my family Osterley lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the RBS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help.
I am helping my sister sell her house in Osterley. Will the solicitor order an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a required element of moving house. An energy assessment should be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Osterley conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established Osterley providers
I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Osterley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is principally there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
