My solicitor has informed me that missing deeds insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Mitcham Junction conveyancing?
The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Co-operative are being a right pain. The Mitcham Junction solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Co-operative are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Mitcham Junction property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Mitcham Junction surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Mitcham Junction benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it would affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mitcham Junction prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Mitcham Junction. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Mitcham Junction especially if they are familiar with such properties in Mitcham Junction.
