I am acquiring a flat in Burwash. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank solicitor list. Is it possible for me to use my Burwash conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?
You must have a conveyancer to complete the formalities if you require a loan to purchase your home. The conveyancer will carry out all the essential due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You can instruct a Burwash conveyancing practitioner of your choice. Nevertheless, if the solicitor appointed is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel supplemental fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should do so.
My wife and I are purchasing a apartment in Burwash. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to deposit funds into their account. What protection do 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.
I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Burwash. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
I am expecting a AIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Burwash solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Burwash solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Burwash for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Burwash conveyancing specialists.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Burwash is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Burwash are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Burwash you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Burwash may decide 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 residence.
