My financial adviser requires my Port Clarence solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have tried my local Port Clarence branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Port Clarence solicitor . They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.
I'm buying a new build house in Port Clarence benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Virgin Money. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Port Clarence is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Port Clarence are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Port Clarence you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Port Clarence may ascertain 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.
Taking into account that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a house in Port Clarence I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer concerning thehome move ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
Absolutely - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Port Clarence.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a file reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Port Clarence should be the figure that you are charged.
I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Port Clarence. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I acquired a leasehold flat in Port Clarence, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent properties in Port Clarence with an extended lease are worth £192,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2079
With just 54 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
Please can you suggest a trustworthy Port Clarence conveyancing practitioner for buying an apartment? A work colleague suggested one but their quote was £895 for a 175k property. That seems high. The bank will be UBS.
