I am getting a offer of a home loan from Nat West. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Shipston on Stour. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Our god-son is buying a house that has just been built in Shipston on Stour with a mortgage from Kent Reliance. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Bank of Ireland are being pedantic. The Shipston on Stour solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Intending to buy a house in Shipston on Stour. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Shipston on Stour solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Will my lawyer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Shipston on Stour.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Shipston on Stour. Plenty of people will buy a property in Shipston on Stour, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Shipston on Stour. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental search. This will higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Shipston on Stour differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Shipston on Stour come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Shipston on Stour typically acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Shipston on Stour or who has acted in the same development.
