My mortgage broker has asked me for my Croesyceiliog solicitor’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have contacted my local Croesyceiliog office but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Croesyceiliog lawyer . Most Croesyceiliog law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
I am considering applying for a Leeds Building Society mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Croesyceiliog with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Leeds Building Society will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Should our conveyancer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Croesyceiliog.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Croesyceiliog. There are those who purchase a property in Croesyceiliog, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Croesyceiliog. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages resulting from an misleading answer. A buyer’s lawyers may also order an enviro search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be conducted.
I am purchasing a new build house in Croesyceiliog with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
