I am selling my flat in Rhoose. Does the lawyer have to be required to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Rhoose. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Rhoose?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Rhoose. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Rhoose. I have a mortgage agreed with HSBC. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Rhoose bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Rhoose conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Rhoose?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Rhoose. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm buying a new build house in Rhoose benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Aldermore. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
