I can't travel far from Dronfield. I would like to know the logic why all Dronfield conveyancers aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that lending institutions are increasingly anxious and feel it essential to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern banks have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
At what point will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Dronfield and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Dronfield you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Dronfield)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Does a directory service exist listing Skipton panel solicitors in Dronfield on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few banks make their panel listings visible on the web. If you are in need of a Dronfield property lawyer on the Skipton please use our facility.
We expect to receive a DIP from HSBC this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Dronfield solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Dronfield solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Kent Reliance are being pedantic. The Dronfield solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Kent Reliance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.
I'm buying my first flat in Dronfield with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about this extras as it could impact my mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
