I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Ladywell for our house move. Our broker informed us that our bank Yorkshire Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
A bank will insist on a panel conveyancer act for it. Borrowers are liable to bear the charges for this. Try using our directory service to find a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Ladywell on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list of solicitors.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Ladywell
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Ladywell and Solicitor practices in Ladywell who can assist with your conveyancing We would stress that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal work in transferring property. The two can conduct associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Ladywell conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Coventry BS done the valuation? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Ladywell bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Ladywell conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancing practitioner has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of hinderance in Ladywell house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Ladywell.
I am buying my first flat in Ladywell benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
