This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Rhosllanerchrugog. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Rhosllanerchrugog?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Rhosllanerchrugog. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
is it true that all Rhosllanerchrugog solicitor firms on the RBS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being pedantic. The Rhosllanerchrugog solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS 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.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Rhosllanerchrugog concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 Rhosllanerchrugog benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with HSBC Bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
