Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Raynes Park. Please explain the reason why all Raynes Park lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders purging a number of firms from their books of approved solicitors .
Is it possible for conveyancing in Raynes Park to be completed inside 28 days?
First, If you are under pressure to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they may have conducted previoushomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Raynes Park conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that 18% of Raynes Park conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being delayed by as much as three weeks. It is claimed that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Many Raynes Park conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.
I own a freehold premises in Raynes Park yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Raynes Park and has limited impact for conveyancing in Raynes Park but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
I am buying a new build house in Raynes Park with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Is this normal?.
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.

if there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the premium.
