Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Nether Stowey

I can't travel far from Nether Stowey. Is there a reason why all Nether Stowey property lawyers are not on all bank panels?

A decade ago most banks displayed an approach to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, mortgage companies have subsequently soughtmore information from law firms regarding their processes and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.

Are the BSA intent on creating a online directory to list firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Nether Stowey?

We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.

Is it the case that all Nether Stowey solicitor firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the CLC.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Co-operative are being difficult. The Nether Stowey solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Co-operative are insisting on 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.

Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Nether Stowey solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton 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. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Nether Stowey postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Nether Stowey.

Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the main reason for stalling in Nether Stowey house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Nether Stowey.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Nether Stowey benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it will jeopardize my loan with National Westminster 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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Nether Stowey before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.
