I am helping my mother sell her house in Macclesfield. Will the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates remained a mandatory element of selling a property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not something that lawyers normally organise. Where you are instructing a Macclesfield conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established Macclesfield energy assessors
Can you point me to a directory of Skipton panel conveyancers in Macclesfield on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings visible on the web. Where you are in need of a Macclesfield lawyer on the Skipton please use our facility.
Leeds Building Society have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Macclesfield has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will need to be advised as to your lawyer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Leeds Building Society or your financial adviser and finish off any outstanding forms. Leeds Building Society will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Leeds Building Society 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 Macclesfield.
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Macclesfield took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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'm purchasing my first flat in Macclesfield with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it may impact my mortgage 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 have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Macclesfield I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Macclesfield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
