I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a Southwold based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank to explore if they make available a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Southwold.
We expect to receive a AIP from Skipton this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Southwold solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Southwold solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Southwold. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Your original mortgage agreement with Barclays will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel lawyer.
Our sealed bid on a property in Southwold has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Southwold. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Southwold conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nationwide approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Southwold.
Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could affect a commercial land in Southwold?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Southwold will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Southwold. The search result provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Southwold.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Southwold it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may cause delays to Southwold commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Southwold.
How does conveyancing in Southwold differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Southwold come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Southwold usually 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 property lawyers 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 Southwold or who has acted in the same development.
