What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Timperley?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Timperley and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, selling agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Timperley should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a definite emergence in the "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
My fiance and I are buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Timperley with a homeloan from Aldermore.We use our Timperley conveyancing practitioner but Aldermore says her practice is not listed on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Aldermore panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Aldermore panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Aldermore use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore
I am buying a new build house in Timperley with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it may affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Timperley I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Timperley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
