I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Clacton On Sea. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a Clacton On Sea based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank to see if they allow a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Clacton On Sea.
I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Clacton On Sea for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the premises 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 Clacton On Sea conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying my first flat in Clacton On Sea with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
