Our god-son is purchasing a new build apartment in Hindhead with a mortgage from Skipton. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Are the Hindhead conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Principality conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Principality?
Hindhead conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Principality directly.
Is there a list of Virgin Money panel conveyancers in Hindhead on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings visible online. Where you are in need of a Hindhead property lawyer on the Virgin Money please make the most of our facility.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Hindhead conveyancing solicitors are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Yorkshire BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Yorkshire BS conducted the survey? Have you informed Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nottingham are being pedantic. The Hindhead solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
What will a local search reveal regarding the property we're purchasing in Hindhead?
Hindhead conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search is essential in every Hindhead conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search will reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject sections.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Hindhead 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to establish that you own the land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
