I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Glenfield. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. 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 if I'd bought the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges 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. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

Does a directory service exist listing Lloyds panel conveyancers in Glenfield on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings visible online. If you are looking for a Glenfield property lawyer on the Lloyds please make the most of our tool.

It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Glenfield building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Glenfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

As long as the lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 been told that property searches are the primary cause of hinderance in Glenfield conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Glenfield.

Have purchased a a detached house in Glenfield , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Glenfield conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the registration is dealt with.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Glenfield registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the premises so registration formalities is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Am I best advised to instruct a Glenfield conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can handle the legal work however her office is a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.

The benefit of a high street Glenfield conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Glenfield know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were happy that must surpass using an unfamiliar Glenfield conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
