I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Newcastle Emlyn. The Newcastle Emlyn property was put into my name in December. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 could be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
How can we know in advance if a Newcastle Emlyn conveyancing solicitor on the Skipton panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Newcastle Emlyn seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Newcastle Emlyn conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Newcastle Emlyn postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Newcastle Emlyn.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Newcastle Emlyn and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Newcastle Emlyn. Having lived in Newcastle Emlyn for many years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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.

What is the name of the managing agents? Plenty Newcastle Emlyn leasehold apartments will have a service bill for the upkeep of the block levied by the landlord. Where you acquire the property you will have to pay this charge, usually quarterly throughout the year. This may differ from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large common grounds. There will also be a ground rent to be met annual, this is usually not a exorbitant figure, say about £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it could be surprisingly expensive. On the whole the cost for major works tend not to be incorporated into the service charges, although there some managing agents in Newcastle Emlyn ask leaseholders to pay into a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger works.
