My financial adviser has requested my Drybrook solicitor’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have contacted my local Drybrook office but they don't know it.
You are best placed to get this information from your Drybrook conveyancing practitioner . Most Drybrook conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Drybrook?
If you are buying a property in Drybrook your solicitor will ask you place them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the total price then this will be asked for shortly before contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Drybrook. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Drybrook?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We had chosen conveyancers located in Drybrook on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Coventry BS but by your Drybrook conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Drybrook building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Drybrook conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your conveyancer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Drybrook before appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can look into this further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Drybrook.
