Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Westerham

I can't travel far from Westerham. What is the rationale as to why all Westerham conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?

Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies displayed an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancers on your panel. Consequently, banks have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms about their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum volume of transactions the lenders required.

We're in Westerham, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Aldermore , and our lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I'm buying a new build house in Westerham benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it may affect my mortgage with The Mortgage Works. 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.

I decided to have a survey done on a property in Westerham prior to instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Westerham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on a house in Westerham I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer about myhome move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Westerham. I've stumble across a site which seems to have the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all the legals done via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?
