Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Staindrop

I am obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds. My intention is to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Staindrop. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

My wife and I are refinancing our maisonette in Staindrop with Nottingham. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Nottingham conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Nottingham. This is solely used to protect Nottingham if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Nottingham had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

How does conveyancing in Staindrop differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Staindrop approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Staindrop tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Staindrop or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Staindrop before retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a loan on a flying freehold premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Staindrop.
