Completed the sale of my flat in Rossendale last February yet the purchaser is calling every few hours to moan that their lawyer needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your sale your solicitor is duty bound to deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion steps specific conveyancing in Rossendale.
We are buying a house in Rossendale. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Rossendale. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. Some banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
I have instructed a Rossendale conveyancer having checked that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Rossendale postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Rossendale.
I am purchasing a new build house in Rossendale benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it may affect my mortgage with Lloyds TSB Bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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 opted to have a survey completed on a house in Rossendale prior to appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of premises.
