I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Hoddesdon. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates 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 might be impacted by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Hoddesdon 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hoddesdon
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. 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. 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. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
