My financial adviser requires my Fallowfield lawyer’ panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Fallowfield office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried speaking to your Fallowfield solicitor about this?. Most Fallowfield law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
My partner and I are buying our first home. The lawyer has texted usto see if we would like to take out additional conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Fallowfield
The extent of Fallowfield conveyancing searches depends primarily on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general appetite to risk. What is important is that you adequately appreciate what information the searches could provide. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that search. Should you be unclear, ask your property lawyer to provide guidance.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Fallowfield conveyancer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Fallowfield. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Fallowfield agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Fallowfield. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Fallowfield conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Fallowfield benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with Platform Home Loans Ltd. 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.
