We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Clydesdale as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our house in West Cross. Are we obliged to select a nearby West Cross solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Clydesdale don't usually appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale panel.
I'm at the point of looking at houses in West Cross and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have a property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with Co-operative.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have instructed a West Cross conveyancer having checked that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your West Cross postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in West Cross.
How does conveyancing in West Cross differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in West Cross contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in West Cross tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in West Cross or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in West Cross I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in West Cross in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in West Cross. I've land on a web site which looks to be the ideal solution If it is possible to get all the legals done via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
