I'm the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Atherton. The Atherton property was put into my name in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. 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 could be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
is it true that all Atherton solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the CLC.
Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in Atherton has been agreed to, now what?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Skipton or the financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation. Skipton will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Skipton will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Atherton.
Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could affect a commercial site in Atherton?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Atherton will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Atherton. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Atherton.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Atherton it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can result in delays to Atherton commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Atherton.
I am buying a new build house in Atherton with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this extras as it would affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have just found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Atherton. Conveyancing lawyers have are about to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Atherton ?
The majority of houses in Atherton are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Atherton in which case you should be looking for a Atherton conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the landlord’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is located on an estate. Your conveyancer will advise you fully on all the issues.
