Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a mandatory part of selling a house. An energy assessment should be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Southport conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local providers
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Southport on 26/11/2024, valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Are Coventry BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
How does conveyancing in Southport differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Southport approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Southport usually purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Southport or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Southport ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend not give a mortgage on such a house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can investigate further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Southport. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
