I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in West Cross. Conveyancing was finalised a year 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 Clydesdale?
You must advise Clydesdale before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will permit you to let 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 Clydesdale directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel lawyer.
It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my West Cross bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My West Cross conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Will my solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in West Cross.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers conducting conveyancing in West Cross. Some people will acquire a house in West Cross, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in West Cross. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also conduct an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.
I am purchasing a new build house in West Cross with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. 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.
