I'm the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bollington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML 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 affected by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this requirement chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
We previously selected solicitors locally in Bollington on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further sum for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Bollington conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Barclays are being problematic. The Bollington solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays 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.
