I am getting a mortgage with Halifax. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Falmouth. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My son-in-law is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Falmouth with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form 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 Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Falmouth , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Falmouth conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Falmouth is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Falmouth. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Falmouth
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply a car parking plan. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Falmouth is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Falmouth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Falmouth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Falmouth may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
