I am getting a mortgage with Nat West. I intend to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Stratford Upon Avon. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Stratford Upon Avon. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this obligation is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Stratford Upon Avon bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Stratford Upon Avon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the solicitor is on the lender panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Stratford Upon Avon has been agreed to, what happens next?
The property agent will need to be informed of your lawyer's details (make sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Yorkshire BS or the financial adviser and complete any outstanding forms. Yorkshire BS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Stratford Upon Avon.
I am buying my first flat in Stratford Upon Avon with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
