My Beaworthy lawyer has uncovered a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he must check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action legitimate?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Beaworthy? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you need to sign should stipulate this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you are unwilling to supply ID verification documents, your conveyancer will not be able to take you on as a client.
My wife and I are buying a property in Beaworthy. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we have to put money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
My partner and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Principality as we intend to conduct improvements to our house in Beaworthy. Are we obliged to choose a high street Beaworthy solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Principality don't usually appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality conveyancing panel.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Beaworthy property lawyer on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I completed on my apartment on 9 September and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Beaworthy advises it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Beaworthy particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Beaworthy registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build house in Beaworthy with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
