My mortgage broker requires my Nayland law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have called my local Nayland branch but they have not got back to me yet.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Nayland conveyancer . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Nayland. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Nayland?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

We are planning to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Nayland. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across your website.

On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent however this can only occur when the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Nayland or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Nayland.

I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Nayland. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Coventry BS?

Coventry BS must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel lawyer.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Nayland , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Nayland conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are dealt with.

As far as conveyancing in Nayland registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I'm buying my first flat in Nayland with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

I would like to sublet my leasehold flat in Nayland. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

Some leases for properties in Nayland do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review 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 consent.

On the whole the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, although a few managing agents in Nayland ask tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger works. It is important to be aware if changing the roof or some other major work is coming up that will be shared by the leaseholders and could well materially increase the the service costs or require a specific invoice. You should be aware that where the lease has no more than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Naylandlease extensions you would need to own the property for two years before you are entitled to extend the lease.
