Is it the case that all Burton Joyce solicitor practices on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be governed by the CLC.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Burton Joyce. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Burton Joyce property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Burton Joyce accepted, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The sellers have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Burton Joyce. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Burton Joyce conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to move forward with searches.
I am buying my first flat in Burton Joyce with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it will adversely affect my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
