My husband and I are planning to purchase a flat in Nannerch and are in fact using a Nannerch conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. HSBC Bank have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Nannerch lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?
If you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Nannerch solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for obstruction in Nannerch conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Nannerch.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Nannerch 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware exactly where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you may purchase or sell your house without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.
I am purchasing a new build house in Nannerch with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
