Completed the sale of my flat in Kenilworth last June yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your sale your lawyer is committed to forward the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also confirm that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Kenilworth.
I am considering applying for a Yorkshire BS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Kenilworth with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Yorkshire BS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I am aiming to move house in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Kenilworth. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent but this should only be done once the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Kenilworth or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Kenilworth.
I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Kenilworth. The Kenilworth property was put into my name in August. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is principally there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Kenilworth. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender HSBC be concerned?
As your lender is HSBC your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Kenilworth.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Kenilworth 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and get current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
