I am considering applying for a Coventry BS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Friern Barnet with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Coventry BS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, but Coventry BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Friern Barnet , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Friern Barnet conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Friern Barnet registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am buying a new build house in Friern Barnet benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.
