Is it the case that all Criccieth CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Criccieth. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Criccieth.
Kent Reliance have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Criccieth has been accepted, now what?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Kent Reliance or your broker and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Kent Reliance will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to schedule a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. Kent Reliance will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Criccieth.
How does conveyancing in Criccieth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Criccieth come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Criccieth tend to purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Criccieth or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Criccieth
It is highly unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Criccieth conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing targets set by head office.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to have a meeting at the offices of the lender conveyancing panel solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Criccieth so that I can attend their offices if necessary.
