I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Barnsley building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Barnsley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Barnsley , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Barnsley conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Barnsley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying a new build house in Barnsley with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
