I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Thornton. The Thornton property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We had instructed conveyancers located in Thornton on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Co-operative but by your Thornton solicitor. Some firms on the Co-operative panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I currently have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Thornton. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
Clydesdale must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel firm.
Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that may impact a commercial land in Thornton?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Thornton will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Thornton. The search result sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Thornton.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Thornton it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could result in delays to Thornton commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Thornton.
I am buying a new build house in Thornton benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it will impact my mortgage with Clydesdale. 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.
I opted to have a survey done on a house in Thornton ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
