The owners have very assertive vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two primary downsides with executing a lock out agreement (also termed a no-shop agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not promoted by Rainford conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is not likely to be granted injunctive relief to bar the owner disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in rare situations, the additional payment of penalties.
What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Nottingham Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Rainford?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I'm the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Rainford. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Aldermore are being a right pain. The Rainford solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Nationwide have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in Rainford has been accepted, what happens next?
The property agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Nationwide or your financial adviser and finish off any appropriate documentation. Nationwide will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Nationwide will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rainford.
