I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Wombwell. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges 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 may be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Coventry BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Wombwell has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Call up Coventry BS or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate forms. Coventry BS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Coventry BS will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Wombwell.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Wombwell accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Wombwell. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Wombwell conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Principality approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.

I am buying a new build house in Wombwell with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan 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.
Taking into account that I will soon spend over three hundred thousand on a property in Wombwell I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer about myhome move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
We could not agree more - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Wombwell.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a case reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Wombwell should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Wombwell
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Wombwell conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
Should one remove a departed person's details from the title register for a property in Wombwell?
Where a Wombwell property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as in the event of a disposal your conveyancer would simply be asked to supply proof why the co owner is not a party to the transfer, ordinarily this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making things more straight forward for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased party removed from the title by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
