I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Tidworth building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Tidworth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I've digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Tidworth solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Tidworth surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Our sealed bid on a house in Tidworth has been accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Tidworth. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Santander started?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Tidworth conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Santander approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Tidworth.
4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Tidworth completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Tidworth I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Tidworth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
