My husband and I are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Beddau with a residential mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We like our Beddau conveyancing lawyer but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society advised that his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Norwich and Peterborough Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Beddau for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Beddau conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Beddau differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Beddau contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Beddau tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Beddau or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Beddau I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Beddau suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
