Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Newbury Mortgage Services Solicitor panel prior to the completion date?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. 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 ti 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 the 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 at a cost.
I currently have a mortgage with with Newbury Mortgage Services. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. Should I wish 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 Newbury Mortgage Services?
You must advise Newbury Mortgage Services in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Newbury Mortgage Services’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 Newbury Mortgage Services directly. You need not do this via a Newbury Mortgage Services conveyancing panel lawyer.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in month 2010 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Newbury Mortgage Services are being a right pain. The solicitor who is on the Newbury Mortgage Services conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Newbury Mortgage Services are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Newbury Mortgage Services have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Newbury Mortgage Services have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Newbury Mortgage Services may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing correctly and safely installed. It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have instructed a lawyer having checked that they are on the Newbury Mortgage Services conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property? Or Having digested plenty of mortgage guides,I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my solicitor - who is on the Newbury Mortgage Services conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Newbury Mortgage Services will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Newbury Mortgage Services will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller. or Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Newbury Mortgage Services you could contact your them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors.
