I am purchasing an apartment in East Sheen. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my East Sheen conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender approved list?
You must use a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you take out a mortgage to purchase your home. They will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can instruct a East Sheen solicitor of your choice. However, if the conveyancer selected is not a member of the lender approved list additional costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should do so.
My son-in-law is purchasing a new build apartment in East Sheen with a home loan from Skipton. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are a common cause of stalling in East Sheen conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
