I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Holmfirth. The Holmfirth property was put into my name in December. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
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 impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

Our offer on a semi in Holmfirth has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Holmfirth. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Holmfirth conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Co-operative approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with searches.
The deeds to our property are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Holmfirth 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be documented by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Holmfirth
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Holmfirth conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
