I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Alfriston. The Alfriston property was put into my name in January. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
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." Technically you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this provision primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Alfriston bank branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Alfriston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the solicitor is on the lender approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Intending to buy a house in Alfriston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Alfriston conveyancing practitioner is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Alfriston registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Alfriston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Alfriston come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Alfriston typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Alfriston or who has acted in the same development.
