Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wantage

My mortgage broker has requested my Wantage solicitor’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have tried my local Wantage branch but they have not responded to me.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Wantage conveyancing practitioner . Most Wantage law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

Our nephew is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Wantage with a home loan from Virgin Money. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Is there a list of Skipton panel solicitors in Wantage on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings visible on the web. If you are seeking to appoint a Wantage conveyancer on the Skipton please make the most of our facility.

The mortgage over my property is with RBS for my property in Wantage. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform RBS?

Your original mortgage agreement with RBS will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent 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 RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel lawyer.

Intending to buy a apartment in Wantage. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham 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 Wantage conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Wantage I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease.

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
