I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being difficult. The South Petherton solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale 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.
Should my lawyer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in South Petherton.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in South Petherton. Some people will acquire a property in South Petherton, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in South Petherton. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to discover whether the property has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect reply. A buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro search. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.
I am purchasing a new build house in South Petherton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with Barclays Direct. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in South Petherton I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in South Petherton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
