We are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom apartment in Penllergaer with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We use our Penllergaer conveyancing solicitor but Platform Home Loans Ltd says he's not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Platform Home Loans Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd
I'm purchasing my first flat in Penllergaer with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Penllergaer is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Penllergaer are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Penllergaer you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Penllergaer may decide 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 premises.
Should one as executor remove a deceased person's details from the title deeds for a property in Penllergaer?
If a Penllergaer property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a disposal your conveyancer would just be asked to evidence as to the reason the other owner is missing from the transfer, ordinarily this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing more straight forward for the sale of the property you may arrange to have the deceased party removed from the title entries by submitting an application to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
