Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tring

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Tring. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?

Given that you are now legally committed yourself to purchase you now have to hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are facing a pending deadline in which to complete the property. All auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke legal pack. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer requires. In the case of leasehold property the conveyancing papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Tring. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

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 impacted by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this obligation principally exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Tring building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Tring conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I'm buying a new build house in Tring benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
