Me and my husband are acquiring residence in Ivybridge. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Ivybridge conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must instruct a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities when you need a loan to purchase your property. They will carry out all the relevant investigations on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in order. One can select a Ivybridge conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the lender approved list further charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.
I am buying a property mortgage free in Ivybridge. I have been living for the last dozen years in Ivybridge. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Ivybridge conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion premises with day to day issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Ivybridge should provide you some sensible advice in this regard.
My house in Ivybridge is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my property lawyer have to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Ivybridge I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ivybridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
