It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Great Yarmouth. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Great Yarmouth relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Great Yarmouth. The Great Yarmouth property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors 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. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Great Yarmouth. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £175. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
