My financial adviser has requested my Tarporley solicitor’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Tarporley office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried calling your Tarporley solicitor about this?. They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.
My nephew is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Tarporley with a home loan from Clydesdale. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. 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 Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
We note that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Tarporley?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Tarporley.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Tarporley. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Tarporley
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
Last September I purchased a leasehold flat in Tarporley. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I own a split level flat in Tarporley, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Tarporley with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2101
With just 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
New build sellers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've received an estimate from them. They are almost two hundred pounds cheaper than my family Tarporley conveyancer. What's the catch?
Developers normally have lists of property lawyers who are quick and who know the seller’s paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. As many developers offer an inducement to choose their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested solicitor is that they may prove reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Tarporley conveyancing practitioner.
