My husband and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Treharris and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The lawyer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We are purchasing a apartment in Treharris. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to put funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Treharris. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is primarily there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Treharris agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Treharris. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Santander started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Treharris conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Santander approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Treharris.
I am downsizing from our house in Treharris and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Treharris. Having lived in Treharris for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Treharris 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.
