I was told recently by my mortgage broker that my Papworth Everard solicitor is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain whether this is indeed the case?
Your first step should be to contact your Papworth Everard lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Papworth Everard conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
Our nephew is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Papworth Everard with a mortgage from Skipton. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Papworth Everard?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Papworth Everard. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Papworth Everard I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Papworth Everard for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could 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 term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
Given that I will soon part with £400,000 on a house in Papworth Everard I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thehouse move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
