It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Lechlade building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Lechlade conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Nationwide have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Lechlade has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to be informed of your property lawyer's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Nationwide or the financial adviser and complete any relevant forms. Nationwide will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to arrange a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nationwide will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Lechlade.
Our sealed bid on a property in Lechlade has been agreed to, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The sellers have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Lechlade. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Lechlade conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Lechlade took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am buying my first flat in Lechlade benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it would impact my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Lechlade is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Lechlade are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lechlade you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lechlade may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
