I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Bedworth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers 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 practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation primarily exists to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Bedworth is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
HSBC have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Bedworth has been accepted, what happens next?
The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Contact HSBC or your financial adviser and complete any outstanding paperwork. HSBC will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. HSBC will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bedworth.
Should my conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Bedworth.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Bedworth. There are those who acquire a house in Bedworth, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Bedworth. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the seller to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s lawyers may also order an environmental report. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Bedworth is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Bedworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bedworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedworth may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Bedworth 1st floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Bedworth conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Bedworth conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
