My apartment in Gloucester is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
I am buying a new build house in Gloucester with a loan from Clydesdale. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it may impact my mortgage with the bank. 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.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Gloucester
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Gloucester conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
