I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Avery Hill. The Avery Hill property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates 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 may be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Barclays are being difficult. The Avery Hill solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
