My husband and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Principality as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Sneinton. Do we need to choose a nearby Sneinton solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Principality do not ordinarily appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality panel.
RBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Sneinton has been agreed to, what happens next?
The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone RBS or your broker and finish off any relevant documentation. RBS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Sneinton.
I am purchasing a new build house in Sneinton with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
