Me and my partner are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Ruddington with a mortgage. We have a Ruddington conveyancer, however the lender says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to use one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or retain our Ruddington lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Ruddington conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are purchasing our first property. The conveyancing practitioner has texted usto check if we want to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Ruddington
The extent of Ruddington conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the region and risks, your overall approach to risk. What matters is that you properly understand what information each search could supply. Then you can decide if you consider that you need that search. Should you be uncertain, ask the conveyancing practitioner to guide you.
Completed the sale of my flat in Ruddington last May yet the purchaser is calling me to moan that her solicitor is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your solicitor is obliged to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Ruddington.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Ruddington benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Ruddington is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ruddington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ruddington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ruddington may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
