Due to complete my purchase in Tyne And Wear next Thursday. My conveyancer now wants me to supply her with evidence of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 conditions. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Tyne And Wear.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Tyne And Wear? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Client Care letter that you need to sign should stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you are unwilling to provide ID verification documents, your solicitor will not be able to take you on as a client.
Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of delay in Tyne And Wear conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Tyne And Wear.
I'm buying my first flat in Tyne And Wear with a mortgage from TSB. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with TSB. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
