Much to our surprise we have been notified by our broker that my Manor Park solicitor is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain that this is indeed the case?
Your first step should be to call your Manor Park conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
Our solicitor has uncovered a defect with the lease for the property we are buying in Manor Park. The other side have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer says that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender provisions must be adhered to.
It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Manor Park. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they may stored with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Manor Park relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My wife and I buying a end of terrace house in Manor Park. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include investigations to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Manor Park will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or need the permission of another owner. Many extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
My conveyancer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Manor Park?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Manor Park. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this clause primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
