We're in Grantham, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Bank of Ireland , and our solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Grantham. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Grantham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Grantham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates 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 could be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
The mortgage over my property is with Yorkshire BS for my property in Grantham. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish 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 Yorkshire BS?
You must advise Yorkshire BS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.
I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Grantham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Grantham conveyancing specialists.
