We wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Llandovery with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We have a Llandovery conveyancing lawyer but The Royal Bank of Scotland advised that she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
My lawyer has informed me that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Llandovery conveyancing?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
My wife and I are spending time viewing apartments in Llandovery and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Barclays.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Barclays, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Llandovery. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Llandovery. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Llandovery
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
