I am planning to move house in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Geddington. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent however this should only be done after the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Geddington or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Geddington.
I currently have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Geddington. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
Your original mortgage agreement with Clydesdale will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel firm.
My sealed bid on a property in Geddington has been agreed to, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Geddington. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with UBS going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Geddington conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Geddington.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Geddington 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to look for all the suitable documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the premises.
I am purchasing my first flat in Geddington with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Geddington is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Geddington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Geddington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Geddington may decide 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.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Geddington
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Geddington conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
