My Radlett lawyer has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance legitimate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
is it true that all Radlett solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the CLC.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we want to carry out improvements to our property in Radlett. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Radlett solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Yorkshire BS would not normally instruct firms on 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 Yorkshire BS list.
I am expecting a DIP from Barclays this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Radlett solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Radlett solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Radlett. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Radlett
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Radlett I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Radlett suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
