I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in North Wembley. 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 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
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 might be affected by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this requirement chiefly exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. North Wembley conveyancing lawyers are selected. How long does it take for Nationwide to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nationwide done the survey? Have you advised Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My wife and I have a semi-detached Edwardian house in North Wembley. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in North Wembley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
How does conveyancing in North Wembley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in North Wembley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in North Wembley usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in North Wembley or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. North Wembley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in North Wembley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in North Wembley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in North Wembley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I was advised by a couple of local selling agents in North Wembley to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over and above a competitor’s?
We don’t give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
