Me and my fiance are acquiring a flat in Whitton. My Solicitor is not on the lender conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Whitton conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to use a conveyancer to deal with the legal work required when you take out a loan to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. One may select a Whitton conveyancer of your choosing. However, where the lawyer selected is not on the lender approved list additional costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they should take the chance to apply.
Our nephew is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Whitton with a home loan from Nationwide. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. 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 Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am in the process of remortgaging my apartment in Whitton, does my lawyer have to be on the UBS Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Whitton I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whitton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated 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 may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
