My fiance and I are buying a flat in Minehead. My Conveyancer is not on the lender conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my Minehead conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One must instruct a lawyer to complete the formalities if you take out a mortgage to purchase your home. They will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. You may select a Minehead conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not on the mortgage company approved list further charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
My nephew is buying a newly built flat in Minehead with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Minehead last February but my buyer keeps SMS messaging me to say their solicitor is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your sale your conveyancer should deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also confirm that the home loan has been paid off to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Minehead.
