I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Belbroughton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is principally there to capture subsales or the flipping of property.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Belbroughton. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Aldermore are being a right pain. The Belbroughton solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore 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.
