Scottish Conveyancing - 3 Key Principles
First Time BuyersMissives is an old word for letters and it is the exchange of contractual letters between buyers and seller’s solicitors.
The missives will include conditions of the sale, including the arrangements of fixtures and fittings. Also, it will outline the compensation required if a party can’t move into the property on the agreed date. How long does it take to conclude the missives? This depends on how quickly the buyer’s mortgage offer takes to be issued and how complicated the sale is.
Searches are on the property and people involved in the buying and selling. Sellers can prove they can sell and the buyers prove they can buy. They include information held by the Local Authority, such as whether the property is accessed by public or private roads or whether it is connected to public water and drainage services. If the property lies within a Coal Mining Area, the Searches confirm whether or not the property is in close proximity to any mine shafts or been part of a subsidence claim.
Your solicitor must examine the title deeds to the property so that they can clarify exactly what you are buying. They also need to check that the seller has legal title to the land they occupy, so that they can report on the significance of title conditions relating to the property. As part of this process, the buyer’s solicitor will also check whether the Home Report states that the property has been structurally altered and, if it has, they will request all necessary Local Authority consents from the seller.

You need a mortgage, but what are the different mortgage types? If you’ve started to look around various lenders and other Scottish mortgage broker sites, you’ll undoubtedly have seen many of the following terms used liberally throughout their brochures and online copy. We thought it would be handy to explain exactly what the different types of mortgage are and which types of properties they are usually used for. A fixed-rate mortgage is the most common type of mortgage. It offers a stable interest rate that remains unchanged for a set period, typically two, three, or five years, with some options extending up to ten years. The main benefit is protection from market volatility and rising interest rates. A fixed-rate mortgage provides peace of mind, as your repayments stay consistent regardless of interest rate fluctuations, making budgeting easier. However, if rates drop, you won’t benefit from the decrease, and there may be early repayment charges if you need to end the mortgage before the term ends. These mortgages have a variable interest rate but aren’t the same as standard variable mortgages. A tracker mortgage follows the Bank of England’s base interest rate. As this rate changes, so do your repayments. The Bank of England’s rate, used by high street banks for borrowing, is reviewed on the first Thursday of each month. The key difference between tracker and variable rate mortgages is that a variable rate is set by the lender, while a tracker mortgage is tied to an external rate that the lender follows. The advantage is that tracker mortgages can often be cheaper, but they come with some uncertainty since any fluctuations in the economy will affect your interest rate. Tracker mortgages are typically available for two, three, five, or ten years. A variable rate mortgage is often offered after your fixed-rate term ends. While it carries some risk, it can be both beneficial and unpredictable, as your payments depend on your lender’s interest rates. The advantage is that if rates decrease, your payments will too. However, if rates rise, so will your costs. The main challenge is unpredictability. Unlike a tracker mortgage, a variable mortgage isn’t tied to the Bank of England’s interest rate. You can opt for a variable mortgage from the start, though it’s usually not the first choice for most. The flexibility of a variable mortgage allows you to switch deals or providers without restrictions. While budgeting can be more challenging with this type of mortgage, it shouldn’t be dismissed outright— with careful planning, its flexibility can be a real advantage. With an interest-only mortgage, your payments cover just the interest, not the principal loan amount. The benefit is that your monthly payments are lower than with a repayment mortgage. However, the downside is that at the end of the term, you still owe the full amount you originally borrowed. Lenders are cautious with interest-only mortgages and typically won’t offer them unless you can demonstrate a solid plan to repay the entire loan. While rare, this type of mortgage is most commonly used for buy-to-let properties. For landlords, it offers lower monthly payments, allowing you to save rental income and repay the principal at the end of the term. However, this option is considered high-risk by lenders, and any disruption to your cash flow could leave you unable to repay the full amount when the term ends. If you have significant savings, an offset mortgage might be the best choice for you. With this option, the value of your savings is deducted from your mortgage balance, leading to lower monthly repayments. The more you save, the less interest you pay. However, your savings won’t earn any interest since they’re held in an offset account with your lender, which is used to reduce your mortgage balance. These savings are accessible at any time if, for whatever reason, you need to withdraw money from the offset account. Offset mortgages can be combined with other mortgage types, offering substantial monthly savings. It’s also a great way to help a family member get onto the property ladder.Mortgage Types – Simplified
