Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Goodrich

My mortgage broker has asked me for my Goodrich solicitor’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have e-mailed my local Goodrich branch but they don't know it.

You are best placed to get this information from your Goodrich lawyer . Most Goodrich law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.

Me and my partner are due to exchange buying a house in Goodrich but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller in the sum of three thousand pounds taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Kent Reliance will not permit this. Should they have been approached?

Your conveyancing practitioner that is on a Kent Reliance approved list is required to disclose to Kent Reliance of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Goodrich.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Leeds Building Society, do Goodrich conveyancers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

How can we know in advance if a Goodrich conveyancing solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Goodrich seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.

I am purchasing a property in Goodrich. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Barclays where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Goodrich.

I have been told that property searches are a common cause of stalling in Goodrich house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Goodrich.

How does conveyancing in Goodrich differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Goodrich approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Goodrich tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Goodrich or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Goodrich I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Goodrich for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
