My wife and I are soon to complete buying a house in Hope but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Santander will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on the Santander conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Santander of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the reduction to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Hope.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Clydesdale as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Hope. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Hope solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Clydesdale don't usually appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale panel.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Hope. 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 Clydesdale 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 Hope property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
Our sealed bid on a property in Hope has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Hope. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Hope conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with searches.
