I am under pressure from the owner of a property in Port Isaac to exchange within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?
First, If you are under time constraints for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they could have handled previoushomes in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Port Isaac conveyancing lawyer. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Port Isaac conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the transaction being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is believed that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Most Port Isaac conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
Me and my partner are buying a property in Port Isaac. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to deposit funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Port Isaac. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause chiefly exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
I am buying a property in Port Isaac. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Port Isaac.
I am planning on selling our house in Port Isaac and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Port Isaac. We have lived in Port Isaac for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I am buying my first flat in Port Isaac with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with the lender. 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%.
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.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Port Isaac
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Port Isaac conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
