We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Santander as we want to carry out improvements to our home in Billingham. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Billingham solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Santander do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander panel.
We expect to receive a AIP from HSBC this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Billingham solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Billingham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Billingham I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Billingham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
