We have agreed to purchase a house in West Derby. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to West Derby.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in West Derby agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in West Derby. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, West Derby conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in West Derby.
I am buying a new build house in West Derby with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
