I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Santander. I intend to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Lakenheath. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Lakenheath so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.
Whereas this was necessary twenty years ago, most mortgage companies no longer need their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. It will still be necessary for you to supply ID documents and there are still manifest advantages to choosing a locally based solicitor, in your situation a conveyancing solicitor in Lakenheath.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Lakenheath bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Lakenheath conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Lakenheath. 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 UBS 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 Lakenheath property lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Lakenheath has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will want to be advised as to your lawyer's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Yorkshire BS or the broker and complete any relevant paperwork. Yorkshire BS will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Lakenheath.
