I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Bicester. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Bicester conveyancers have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Is it the case that all Bicester solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Bicester 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be retained by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I was advised by three or four local estate agents in Bicester to find a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site over another?
We refuse to give any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
