As someone clueless as to the Hartfield conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Hartfield
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Hartfield and elsewhere in East Sussex is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the home moving process. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion a lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Hartfield should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
I am purchasing a property in Hartfield. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Hartfield.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Hartfield bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Hartfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Intending to buy a house in Hartfield. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Hartfield lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
