I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Santander. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Pound Hill. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
The owners have very brash sellers who has recommended a lock out contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of contract is not the norm in Pound Hill, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the vendor has signed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the financial benefit that your seller may secure by breaking the agreement, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.
A colleague recommended that if I am purchasing in Pound Hill I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Pound Hill conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out important information about Pound Hill around the property and the people living there. It includes 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 Property Price, Crime statistics, Pound Hill Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Pound Hill.
The deeds to my home are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Pound Hill 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
You no longer need to have the physical official documentation to evidence that you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Pound Hill with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it will adversely 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.
