We wanted to use a property lawyer in Epworth for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our bank Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Pre- 2008 most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Epworth conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 completed a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more information from law firms concerning their operations and their employees as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of conveyancing. Many Epworth conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Epworth is amongst the thousands of areas where the conveyancers showing on our search results are on the panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd.
Please help - my lawyer says that flying freehold insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Epworth conveyancing?
The appropriate level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being a right pain. The Epworth solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Epworth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Epworth solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
