My fiance and I are refinancing our flat in Shillington with Lloyds. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Lloyds conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Lloyds. This is solely used to protect Lloyds if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Lloyds had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
We previously selected conveyancers based in Shillington on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further amount for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Shillington lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Skipton as we intend to conduct improvements to our property in Shillington. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Shillington solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Skipton don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Shillington. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Shillington solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Shillington concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Shillington I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shillington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
Given that I will soon part with 450k on a garden flat in Shillington I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thehome move prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
