Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Cardigan?
If you are buying a property in Cardigan your lawyer will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is called for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this should be needed shortly prior to contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is needed should be transferred a few days ahead of the day of completion.
four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Cardigan concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm buying a new build house in Cardigan with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it may adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
My sealed bid on property in Cardigan was accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Cardigan. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is standard to have anxieties where there is a chain given your reluctance to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Cardigan conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Cardigan.
