I am purchasing a newly built apartment in Martock and my solicitor is telling me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the seller. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and I don't want to prolong the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Martock conveyancing lawyers have been chosen. How long does it take for Barclays to send the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays done the valuation? Have you informed Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Martock. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Co-operative have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Martock has been accepted, now what?
The property agent will want to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Co-operative or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate forms. Co-operative will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. Co-operative will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Martock.
