My mortgage broker requires my Hellesdon solicitor’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have called my local Hellesdon branch but they have not got back to me yet.
You are best placed to get this information from your Hellesdon conveyancing practitioner . Most Hellesdon law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
Last January we completed a house move in Hellesdon. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Hellesdon?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Hellesdon. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Hellesdon.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Hellesdon?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Hellesdon. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am buying a new build house in Hellesdon with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
