Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barrowden

It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Barrowden. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Will this cause complications?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Barrowden involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I am in the process of refinancing my home in Barrowden, does my lawyer need to be on the Bank of Ireland Solicitor panel?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Bank of Ireland will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Barrowden. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this obligation principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
