My uncle passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Ruabon. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £5k. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to UBS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Given you intend to re-mortgage then UBS will insist on your using a conveyancer on the UBS conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your UBS conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the UBS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I am purchasing a new build house in Ruabon benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it may adversely affect my loan with Alliance & Leicester . Is this normal?.
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 am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Ruabon I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ruabon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
Do I need to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Ruabon conveyancing company?
As with lots of service providers, often input from connections can be very helpful. But there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend conveyancers to select. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your own lawyer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
We today found out that one of the directors of the firm undertaking the purchase conveyancing in Ruabon is related to the seller. Is this acceptable?
