The property market in Banbury is heating up. What can I do to accelerate the buying process?
Where the seller is applying time constraints to complete it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will benefit local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they may have transacted otherhomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Banbury conveyancing lawyer. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Banbury conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is understood that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home moves every year. Almost all Banbury conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Banbury. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the National Westminster Bank conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should call your lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with National Westminster Bank who may be able to confirm.
Will my solicitor be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Banbury.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Banbury. There are those who buy a house in Banbury, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Banbury. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s lawyers will also conduct an enviro search. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be made.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Banbury with a loan from Virgin Money. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with Virgin Money. 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.
