Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cambridgeshire

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Cambridgeshire. 95% of the appartments are already occupied. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Cambridgeshire?

Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Cambridgeshire conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to change to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Cambridgeshire.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as RBS, do Cambridgeshire conveyancers incur a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Cambridgeshire is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

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 HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Cambridgeshire has been accepted, what are the next steps?

Your property agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Call up Barclays or the financial adviser and complete any outstanding documentation. Barclays will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to get a mortgage offer. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Cambridgeshire.

I require expedited conveyancing in Cambridgeshire as I am under a deadline to complete in less than 2 weeks. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are are a mortgage free purchaser you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no solicitor would advise that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Cambridgeshire the following are instances of issues that can crop up and therefore impact future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...

I am purchasing my first flat in Cambridgeshire with a loan from Halifax. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would 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%.
