Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Shenstone. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Shenstone?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Shenstone. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Shenstone. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not meet these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Shenstone.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Shenstone is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
How does conveyancing in Shenstone differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Shenstone contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Shenstone tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Shenstone or who has acted in the same development.
