Common questions asked concerning the Molo Finance Buy to Let Conveyancing Panel from members of the public
The lawyer my fiance and I had intended to instruct on a remortgage said she will levy higher legal fees if my lender is because of their unusual legal requirements. Will I regret using Molo Finance Buy to Let? Any comments will be appreciated
Molo Finance Buy to Let conveyancing requirements for their panel are no better or no more complicated than most lenders.
It is the case now the CML Handbook, the "bible" used by solicitors to establish lender requirements, is different for each lender.
It is not clear if your lawyer is on the Molo Finance Buy to Let conveyancing panel. If they are not, this does add further risk of delay as Molo Finance Buy to Let will appoint their own solicitors to look after their interest.
My fiance and I changing mortgage lender for our apartment with Molo Finance Buy to Let. We have a son 18 who lives with us. The solicitor on the Molo Finance Buy to Let conveyancing panel 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, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Molo Finance Buy to Let conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong 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 Molo Finance Buy to Let .This is solely used to protect the Molo Finance Buy to Let 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 Molo Finance Buy to Let 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.
Do I need to attend the offices of the Molo Finance Buy to Let conveyancing panel solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Leeds
so that I can attend their offices if required.
Whereas this was necessary ten years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to provide ID Documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Leeds
.
The solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Brighton has without warning closed. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Molo Finance Buy to Let conveyancing panel and my family lawyer was not. I paid them £200 on account. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Molo Finance Buy to Let conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist
