It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Walton Le Dale building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Walton Le Dale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications 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.
Nationwide have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Walton Le Dale has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will want to be informed of your lawyer's details (be sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Nationwide or your broker and finish off any outstanding forms.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Nationwide will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Walton Le Dale.

My wife and I have a renovated Edwardian house in Walton Le Dale. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Walton Le Dale and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I'm buying my first flat in Walton Le Dale with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with Aldermore. 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.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Walton Le Dale. I've land on a site which seems to have the ideal solution If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via web that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
My son is embarking on her first house purchase, he had his mortgage in principle. One the seller agreed the offer on the apartment we called the bank to issue the formal offer. We were shocked to discover that mortgage companies do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they must be on their panel, is this right?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Walton Le Dale conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
