Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Nationwide Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wadebridge?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Wadebridge. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Having legally committed yourself to purchase you should retain a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a pending a drop dead date to complete the purchase. All auction property should have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the legal pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Wadebridge bank branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Wadebridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your property lawyer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for your 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being difficult. The Wadebridge solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.
Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are a common cause of stalling in Wadebridge house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Wadebridge.
I'm buying my first flat in Wadebridge with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it may impact my mortgage with Chelsea Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
