I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Waddon. The Waddon property was put into my name in August. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
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 impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is principally there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
is it true that all Waddon solicitor firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Waddon solicitor - who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Waddon surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
How does conveyancing in Waddon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Waddon contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Waddon tend to purchase the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Waddon or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Waddon I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Waddon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
