Swiss Cottage conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nationwide directly.
I am considering applying for a Barclays mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Swiss Cottage with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Barclays ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel, but Barclays would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Swiss Cottage 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know precisely where to locate all the suitable documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. Where copies can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Swiss Cottage benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Swiss Cottage I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Swiss Cottage for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
