My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from RBS as we intend to conduct renovations to our property in Bermondsey. Do we need to select a high street Bermondsey solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
RBS would not normally appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS panel.
I am expecting a AIP from UBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Bermondsey solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Bermondsey solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Bermondsey took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Bermondsey I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bermondsey suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
