I had an offer accepted on a house in Beddgelert on 29/5/2024, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Santander and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Are Santander entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Beddgelert , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Beddgelert conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Beddgelert is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am purchasing a new build house in Beddgelert with a mortgage from Clydesdale. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Beddgelert with the intention of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Beddgelert can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ solicitors. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Beddgelert leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. If you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor first. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your lawyers. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is under 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. Many landlords or managing agents in Beddgelert charge for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays.
