Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cranfield

How up to date is your search tool for Cranfield conveyancing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Do Nottingham send you an updated list?

Cranfield conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nottingham directly.

I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Cranfield. The Cranfield property was put into my name in February. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires 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 might be affected by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Cranfield building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Cranfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the property lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I have instructed a Cranfield property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Cranfield postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Cranfield.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could impact a commercial property in Cranfield?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Cranfield will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Cranfield. The report provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Cranfield.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Cranfield it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately can cause delays to Cranfield commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Cranfield.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Cranfield?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Cranfield. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Cranfield in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend not issue a loan on this type of house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Cranfield.
