As someone not used to the Allendale conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Allendale

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Allendale or throughout Northumberland is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For example, the seller, selling agent and sometimes your lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Allendale should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. You must always trust your conveyancer ahead of the other players in the conveyancing process.

A colleague advised me that in buying a property in Allendale there could be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to a property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Allendale which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Allendale should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Allendale. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this provision is principally there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being problematic. The Allendale solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
