I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Hamworthy. The Hamworthy property was put into my name in August. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

How does conveyancing in Hamworthy differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Hamworthy approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Hamworthy tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Hamworthy or who has acted in the same development.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hamworthy. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Hamworthy - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I purchased a 2 bed flat in Hamworthy, conveyancing was carried out 6 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Hamworthy with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2084

With only 60 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
