Is it the case that all Welton solicitor firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being a right pain. The Welton solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Welton took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Welton with a loan from Britannia. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it could impact my loan with Britannia. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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 am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Welton I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Welton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I wish to rent out my leasehold flat in Welton. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
The lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; specifically, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Welton do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.

Many Welton leasehold properties will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building set on behalf of the landlord. Where you purchase the apartment you will have to pay this liability, normally in instalments throughout the year.

There will also be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a exorbitant sum, say around £25-£75 but you should to enquire as occasionally it could be prohibitively expensive. This information is helpful as a) areas could cause problems for the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate where maintenance are not paid for b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the managing agents you will want to know about it
