I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Pembroke. The Pembroke property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
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." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. Most lenders would take a practical view as this provision is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
I currently have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Pembroke. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform RBS?
RBS must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that RBS will allow you to rent 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 RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Pembroke. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Pembroke , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Pembroke conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Pembroke registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am purchasing a new build house in Pembroke with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it would put at risk my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Pembroke I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Pembroke in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
