We had chosen solicitors based in Hockley Heath on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional amount for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nottingham but by your Hockley Heath conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Hockley Heath solicitor - who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Hockley Heath postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Hockley Heath.
Just bought a detached house in Hockley Heath , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Hockley Heath conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hockley Heath registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any third parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying my first flat in Hockley Heath benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with Santander. Is this normal?.
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.
