Skipton have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Poynton has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Call up Skipton or your financial adviser and complete any relevant documentation. Skipton will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to arrange a slot for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Skipton will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Poynton.

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive. I have since discovered that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns purchasing a leasehold house in Poynton. Conveyancing solicitors have are soon to be instructed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Poynton ?
Most houses in Poynton are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Poynton in which case you should be shopping around for a Poynton conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a lessee you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the landlord’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your lawyer should report to you on the legal implications.
Leasehold Conveyancing in Poynton - Examples of Questions you should ask before Purchasing
-
Is anyone aware of any major works in the near future that will likely increase the maintenance costs? The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the tenants have control and even though a managing agent is frequently retained where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Does the lease have onerous restrictions?
My partner and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Poynton. When we first instructed solicitor, we were told they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The financial adviser emailed yesterday to advise that they are not on the Kent Reliance approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we simply choose a different property lawyer that is on their panel or should we pay for dual representation, with Kent Reliance appointing their own preferred lawyer.
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancing practitioner has to satisfy. Some building societies now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancer should call Kent Reliance to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Kent Reliance's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Poynton solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
