I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Santander. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Lyddington. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Is it possible for conveyancing in Lyddington to be concluded in under two weeks?
In the event that you are under a tight deadline to complete it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and knowledge. It is possible that they may have conducted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Lyddington conveyancing firm. In addition, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Lyddington conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the transaction being delayed by an average of three weeks. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home sales annually. Many Lyddington conveyancing practices can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the UBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Lyddington?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Lyddington concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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'm buying a new build house in Lyddington with a mortgage from Aldermore. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it would put at risk my loan with Aldermore. 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.
