AssumingI were to purchase a freehold housein Alsager for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Alsager?
Any savings you would make will be limited to the Alsager conveyancing searches. A lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it will not be a lot.
I am considering applying for a Santander mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Alsager with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Santander ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Santander conveyancing panel, but Santander 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.
Is it the case that all Alsager conveyancing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the CLC.
It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Alsager bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Alsager conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Our offer on a semi in Alsager has been agreed to, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Alsager. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Alsager conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with searches.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Alsager is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Alsager are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Alsager you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Alsager may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
