We are approaching an exchange on a house in Newquay and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The lawyer is legally required to check with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Newquay?
Do check but the the probability is that allocate you one of their panel lawyers should you want the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank and explore if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Newquay.
A relative informed me that in purchasing a property in Newquay there could be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Newquay which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Newquay should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Newquay. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease does not meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Newquay.
My partner and I are in the throws of viewing houses in Newquay and I am about to put in an offer. Is it best to have my property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Newquay for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Newquay conveyancing specialists.
