We had selected conveyancers located in Hemel Hempstead on the Santander solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for handling the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Santander?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Santander but by your Hemel Hempstead solicitor. Numerous firms on the Santander panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Hemel Hempstead bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Hemel Hempstead conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your solicitor has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Hemel Hempstead agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Hemel Hempstead. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Hemel Hempstead conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Hemel Hempstead.

I have recentlybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Hemel Hempstead for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

I am buying a new build house in Hemel Hempstead benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it may affect my loan with Barnsley Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Hemel Hempstead is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Hemel Hempstead are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hemel Hempstead you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hemel Hempstead may determine 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.
