Some advice if I may. My Shawbury lawyer is informing me me that she is duty bound toorder Shawbury conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my lawyer correct?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Shawbury conveyancing searches.
I am due to move house in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Shawbury. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only happen once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. After that you should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Shawbury or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Shawbury.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Shawbury. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Shawbury solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.
I'm buying a new build house in Shawbury with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Shawbury conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Shawbury conveyancing firm) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you speak with two or three firms including non Shawbury conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:
-
How many lease extensions has the firm conducted in Shawbury in the last 12 months? What are the costs for lease extension conveyancing?
I own a 1 bedroom flat in Shawbury, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Shawbury with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2102
You have 76 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
My parents are unable to locate their Shawbury property on the HMLR site. They recall that back in the 60’s when they bought the house there were complications regarding Shawbury not being identified on some systems.
Almost all properties in Shawbury should show up. Have you endevoured to search to just the postcode. Usually it will mention all the houses and flats within the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title papers which may be with your parent’s mortgage company.
