Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Norfolk

My lawyer has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Norfolk. The other side have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. 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.

We are purchasing a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Norfolk who is on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

The Norfolk conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Norfolk have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the Santander conveyancing panel and my family Norfolk lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?

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. Most sellers would 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 Santander 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 solicitors may be able to assist.

What can a local search reveal concerning the house I am purchasing in Norfolk?

Norfolk conveyancing often commences with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for example Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Norfolk conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your property. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject headings.

I'm buying my first flat in Norfolk benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

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%.
