Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Rugby. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Having exchanged you will need to find a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you are faced with a tight a fixed date to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You should give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
When it comes to lenders such as Co-operative, do Rugby conveyancers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Rugby bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Rugby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the bank panel, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Rugby conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Rugby.
I own a terraced Georgian property in Rugby. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking National Westminster Bank to clarify?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Rugby and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm buying my first flat in Rugby benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it may put at risk my loan with Virgin Money. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
