I'm in the process of viewing apartments in Trelogan and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a lawyer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with Skipton.
It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
The mortgage over my property is with Bank of Ireland for my property in Trelogan. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
Your original mortgage agreement with Bank of Ireland will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland directly. You need not do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, RBS are being difficult. The Trelogan solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Will our lawyer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Trelogan.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Trelogan. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Trelogan, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Trelogan. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. A purchaser’s lawyers will also order an environmental report. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Trelogan I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Trelogan in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
