I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Stapleton. The Stapleton property was put into my name in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this obligation primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
My wife and I are in the process of looking at apartments in Stapleton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Coventry BS.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nottingham. Is it usual for Nottingham to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Stapleton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nottingham have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Stapleton 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
How does conveyancing in Stapleton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Stapleton contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Stapleton usually purchase the land, 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 Stapleton or who has acted in the same development.

I have been Googling for Stapleton online conveyancing estimates. Can I be assured that all the Stapleton law firms that are listed on your website are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have advised us that they are on the bank panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the mortgage company panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Stapleton conveyancing solicitor being on the bank conveyancing panel is not accurate.
