Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list solicitors on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Purfleet?
We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, TSB are being a right pain. The Purfleet solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Intending to buy a house in Purfleet. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Purfleet conveyancer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in Purfleet has been agreed to, what happens next?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Yorkshire BS or your financial adviser and finalise any appropriate documentation. Yorkshire BS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Purfleet.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Purfleet concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am purchasing a new build house in Purfleet with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I'm converting the mortgage on my primary house to a BTL mortgage with HSBC Bank and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on another house. The neighborhood we are looking at is Purfleet. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and tie in the two deals?
Make use of our comparison tool on this page to check that the solicitors are approved by both banks. Assuming that they are your solicitor will be able to connect the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you lawyer and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.

My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to purchase the freehold in Purfleet. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
in cases where there is a absentee landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to determine the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Purfleet flat is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The unexpired lease term was 76 years.
