My wife and I are in the process of looking at houses in Peacehaven and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a lawyer appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with Lloyds.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Peacehaven bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Peacehaven conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your solicitor must comply with the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Peacehaven. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I acquired my home on 16 September and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Peacehaven advises it would be recorded inside ten days. Are titles in Peacehaven uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Peacehaven registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm buying a new build house in Peacehaven benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it will affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
