The Neston conveyancing firm handling our Neston conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he must check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
The Neston conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my house acquisition in Neston have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my family Neston lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.
I am planning to move house in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Neston. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent but this should only happen when the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Neston or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Neston.
Is it the case that all Neston solicitor practices on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Clydesdale as we intend to conduct renovations to our house in Neston. Do we need to choose a high street Neston solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Clydesdale do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale list.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Neston benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with Barclays Direct. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
