My stepmother pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Bollington there could be various restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external alterations to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Bollington which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Bollington should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I happen to be the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Bollington. The Bollington property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
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." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this provision is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Bollington. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Soon after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Barclays 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 Barclays 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 moved into my apartment on 12 June and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Bollington expressed confidence that it would be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Bollington uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Bollington registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property so 'speed' is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
