My husband and I are buying a newbuild flat in Tickhill with a loan from Nottingham Building Society.We would like to retain our Tickhill conveyancing lawyer but Nottingham Building Society advised that his firm is not listed on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Nottingham Building Society panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nottingham Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Nottingham Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Tickhill I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tickhill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
I have been recommended by a few property agents in Tickhill to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
