I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Bromley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
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 affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is principally there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Does a directory service exist listing Aldermore panel conveyancers in Bromley on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings available online. If you are looking for a Bromley conveyancer on the Aldermore please make the most of our tool.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Bromley agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Bromley. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Bromley conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Clydesdale approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.
I am downsizing from our property in Bromley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bromley. Having lived in Bromley for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in Bromley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bromley approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Bromley tend to buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Bromley or who has acted in the same development.

I am a fortnight into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the selling agent to do our conveyancing in Bromley. I am am starting to be disappointed with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
