We have agreed to purchase a house in Llanybydder. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is UBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Llanybydder.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Llanybydder off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Lloyds. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
My offer was accepted on a house in Llanybydder on 21/2/2024, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Virgin Money and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Are Virgin Money entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
What can a local search inform me about the house my wife and I buying in Llanybydder?
Llanybydder conveyancing often commences with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations for instance Onsearch The local search plays a central role in most Llanybydder conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search should provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Llanybydder?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Llanybydder. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Llanybydder differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Llanybydder come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Llanybydder tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Llanybydder or who has acted in the same development.
