I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, TSB are being a right pain. The Perranporth solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB 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.
I've 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 Perranporth solicitor - who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Perranporth surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My sealed bid on a house in Perranporth has been accepted, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Perranporth. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Perranporth conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.
I'm buying a new build house in Perranporth with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage 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 have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Perranporth I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Perranporth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to solicitors by the local agent to execute conveyancing in Perranporth. We are not happy. Can you help me find new lawyers?
They would need to be very bad in order to consider diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been generated? If so you must make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the lenders panel to avoid added charges and complications. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £225,000 garden flat in Perranporth on Thursday in a week. The landlords agents has quoted £336 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Perranporth?
Perranporth conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually involves the buyer’s solicitor submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address these enquiries most will be content to assist. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
