My fiance and I intend to remortgage our penthouse in Rhosneigr with Nationwide. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Nationwide conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his rights to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Nationwide. This is solely used to protect Nationwide if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Nationwide had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Rhosneigr conveyancing practitioners were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Principality done the valuation? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Rhosneigr bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Rhosneigr conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have instructed a Rhosneigr lawyer having checked that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Rhosneigr surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I bought my flat on 4 September and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Rhosneigr advises it should be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Rhosneigr uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Rhosneigr registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Rhosneigr I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rhosneigr suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
