My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Addington and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to check with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Addington with a homeloan from The Mortgage Works.We have a Addington conveyancing practitioner but The Mortgage Works says she’s not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the number one reason for obstruction in Addington house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Addington.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Addington. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Addington
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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. 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. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
Am I right to be suspicious about estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Addington conveyancing practice?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all suggest solicitors to select. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
