I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Mevagissey. The Mevagissey property was put into my name in September. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.
I have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Mevagissey. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Your original mortgage agreement with Co-operative will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel firm.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Mevagissey building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Mevagissey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Mevagissey 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will be aware exactly where to find all the relevant documentation so you can purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.
