I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Corwen. What can I do to expedite the legal process?
In the event that you are under a tight deadline to sign contracts it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and know-how. It is even conceivable that they may have conducted previousproperties in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Corwen conveyancing firm. Second, double check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is believed that 18% of Corwen conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being held up by an average of 21 days. It is said that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home moves every year. Most Corwen conveyancing firms can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.
How can we know in advance if a Corwen conveyancing solicitor on the Virgin Money panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Corwen getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
I am buying a property in Corwen. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender TSB be concerned?
Given that your lender is TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Corwen.
The mortgage over my property is with Aldermore for my property in Corwen. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Aldermore?
Aldermore must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. You need not do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Corwen I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Corwen for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
