I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Haxby. The Haxby property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Is it the case that all Haxby solicitor firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the CLC.
I am buying a property in Haxby. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Haxby.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Haxby. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Haxby and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
In my capacity as executor for the will of my uncle I am selling a property in Cardiff but I am based in Haxby.

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Haxby based
New build sellers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've sought an estimate from them. They are almost two hundred pounds less expensive than my preferred Haxby property lawyer. Should I use them?
Housebuilders frequently have lists of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s documentation and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they want exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested solicitor is that they may prove reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Haxby lawyer.
