We are purchasing our first home. The property lawyer has messagedto see if we wish to order supplemental conveyancing searches. As novices we are clueless as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Parkstone
The extent of Parkstone conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the property, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the region and risks, your general attitude to risk. What is important is that you adequately appreciate what information each search could supply. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Should you be unclear, ask your conveyancer to explain.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Parkstone. The Parkstone property was put into my name in January. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
Planning on purchasing a house in Parkstone. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Parkstone conveyancer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Parkstone has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to be informed of your property lawyer's details (make sure the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Lloyds or the financial adviser and finalise any relevant paperwork. Lloyds will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Parkstone.
My friend recommended that if I am purchasing in Parkstone I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Parkstone conveyancing searches. It is a large document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Parkstone around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Parkstone.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Parkstone with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it would adversely affect my loan 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Parkstone is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Parkstone are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Parkstone you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Parkstone may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
