My Conveyancer in Enfield Wash is not listed on the The Royal Bank of Scotland Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Enfield Wash solicitors but The Royal Bank of Scotland will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing charges as well as result in delays.
- Find an alternative lawyer to to deal with the conveyancing, obviously checking they are The Royal Bank of Scotland approved.
- Persuade your The Royal Bank of Scotland based solicitor to try to join the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel
I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Enfield Wash. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this provision primarily exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
My wife and I are spending time viewing apartments in Enfield Wash and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.
It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Kent Reliance. Is it usual for Kent Reliance to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Enfield Wash is approved on their conveyancing panel? Kent Reliance have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am buying my first flat in Enfield Wash with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
