My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Vale Of Glamorgan and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
My home in Vale Of Glamorgan is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my solicitor have to be required to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Vale Of Glamorgan and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Vale Of Glamorgan. Having lived in Vale Of Glamorgan for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm 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 ailment)
I'm buying my first flat in Vale Of Glamorgan with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with Yorkshire Building Society. 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.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Vale Of Glamorgan I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Vale Of Glamorgan suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
