We previously chose solicitors locally in Rochdale on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate sum for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Rochdale property lawyer. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Rochdale. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nottingham have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Nottingham your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Nottingham where a lease does not meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Rochdale.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Rochdale building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Rochdale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am downsizing from our property in Rochdale and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Rochdale conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Rochdale. Having lived in Rochdale for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am buying a new build apartment in Rochdale. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rochdale
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
