I have just been advised by my mortgage broker that my Caerwent lawyer is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?
You need to contact your Caerwent conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Caerwent. The Caerwent property was put into my name in November. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is chiefly there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Caerwent bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Caerwent conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Barclays are being a right pain. The Caerwent solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Barclays are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial land in Caerwent?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Caerwent will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Caerwent. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Caerwent.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Caerwent it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could cause delays to Caerwent commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Caerwent.
I am buying my first flat in Caerwent with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it could adversely affect my loan with Barnsley Building Society. 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.
