Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list law firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Rhosllanerchrugog?
We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
We previously selected solicitors locally in Rhosllanerchrugog on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further fee for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Aldermore but by your Rhosllanerchrugog conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Rhosllanerchrugog off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
About to purchase apartment in Rhosllanerchrugog. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB 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 Rhosllanerchrugog conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of obstruction in Rhosllanerchrugog house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Rhosllanerchrugog.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Rhosllanerchrugog took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 premises 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 would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.
