It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Honor Oak bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Honor Oak conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your solicitor has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Our sealed bid on a detached house in Honor Oak has been accepted, the vendors do however have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Honor Oak. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with RBS?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Honor Oak conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Honor Oak.
Is it best to use a Honor Oak conveyancing solicitor based in the vicinity that I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal work but her office is over three hundred miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Honor Oak conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Honor Oak conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
My wife and I may need to let out our Honor Oak basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Honor Oak conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Honor Oak do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
