I just acquired a flat at auction in Caergwrle. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you must instruct a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are facing a fast approaching a drop dead date to complete the conveyancing. An auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke auction set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to the conveyancer working for you ASAP. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I happen to be the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Caergwrle. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in July. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs 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 might be impacted by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this obligation is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
I currently have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Caergwrle. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nottingham?
Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nottingham will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel firm.
I am purchasing my first flat in Caergwrle with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it would adversely affect my loan with Chelsea Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Caergwrle is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Caergwrle are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Caergwrle you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Caergwrle may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Me and my partner are buying a four room ground floor flatin Caergwrle with a home loan from a mortgage company. We like our lawyer in Caergwrle however our lender inform us now that he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our bank panel firms or stay with our Caergwrle conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Caergwrle lawyer?
No, not really. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Caergwrle : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
