I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Wythenshawe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Is it the case that all Wythenshawe solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Santander conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be regulated by the CLC.
About to purchase house in Wythenshawe. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wythenshawe conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Wythenshawe 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and order up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
I am purchasing a new build house in Wythenshawe with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Should I be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Wythenshawe conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward solicitors to appoint. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of banks operate an approved list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
I have recently realised that I have 68 years remaining on my flat in Wythenshawe. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to find the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent would be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Wythenshawe.
