We had instructed conveyancing lawyers locally in Upney on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Upney solicitor. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
About to purchase maisonette in Upney. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Upney solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I am downsizing from our property in Upney and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Upney lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Upney. Having lived in Upney for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am buying my first flat in Upney with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
