I am the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Blackley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Can you point me to a directory of Clydesdale panel conveyancers in Blackley on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings visible online. If you are in need of a Blackley solicitor on the Clydesdale please use our tool.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Blackley building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Blackley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your property lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Blackley?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Blackley. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Blackley I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Blackley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

We have selected a Blackley conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have spotted in the Ts and Cs that they are not overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be worried or is that usually the case with conveyancer?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They will be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate specific laws regulating monies deposited on client account.
