We're in Howden, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Howden 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know exactly where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you can purchase or sell your property without a hitch. Where copies can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.
I am buying my first flat in Howden with a loan from Aldermore. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. 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.
