I am considering applying for a Clydesdale mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Huntingdon with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, but Clydesdale would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
I have todaydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Huntingdon for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Huntingdon conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Huntingdon I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Huntingdon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
