My fiancee and I are in the process of viewing houses in Rothley and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Rothley solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society 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.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Rothley accepted, the sellers do however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Rothley. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Rothley conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Rothley.
