Much to our surprise we have been notified by our IFA that my Rhosneigr solicitor is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?
Your first step should be to contact your Rhosneigr lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
Is it the case that all Rhosneigr solicitor practices on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
How can we tell if a Rhosneigr conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Rhosneigr getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Rhosneigr lawyer on the Nottingham panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I got the keys to my flat on 16 September and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Rhosneigr advises it would be formalised inside ten days. Are titles in Rhosneigr particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Rhosneigr registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am purchasing my first flat in Rhosneigr with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it could impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
