hi all
was wondering if someone could help or advice,
i was repossessed in september 2006,
my property was put on the market for £274,950 on 6th october 2006,
on 1st november the lender reduced the sale price to £250,000.
The property was sold on 7th january2007(contracts exchanged 7th december 2006).
The property was only advertised in the local paper twice and the notice inviting higher offers before exchange of contract had the wrong address
i.e. second part of the road name was wrong.
They had also only had one valuation done on the property i was also chargde for buildings cover whilst in repossession which the lender took out themselves
i was repossessed in september 2006, had a company look at my mortgage agreement and was told that kensington mortgages had paid my broker £2500 secret commission, that company has gone into administration the solicitor wasnt doing any more cases as it was based on no win no fee
The house went on sale on 6th october 2006, at a price of £274,950 and on 1st november 2006 the property was reduced down to £250,000, offer was accepted on the property shortly afterwards and contracts exchanged december 2007 and completion took place january 2008 for the sale price of £250,000.
Yet when on the day of repossession i had found a buyer for £260,000 kensington wouldnt allow the sale to go through unless i t was an unconditional exchange of contracts within half an hour which was impossible
the property was only advertised in the local press twice during this time,when the property was advertised as asking for any higher offer before contract are exchanged the address was wrong the first name of road was correct and the second part was incorrect the actual address advertised was about 2 miles down the road from my house.
the lender only asked for one valuation and they have put charges on that could have been avoided i.e. clearing out house done by company on the mainland so companys cost of ferry travel,they also took out a buildings insurance which they have charged me for.
I have all the documents relating tothis mortgage the only thing i dont have is the underwriting sheet
can i do sue the mortgage company for underselling my property or what could i do should i take it to county court or get a solicitor
