I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Branston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires 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. Some banks would take a practical view as this clause is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
When it comes to lenders such as UBS, do Branston conveyancers have to pay an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We previously selected conveyancers located in Branston on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional sum for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Lloyds but by your Branston conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Lloyds panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am intent on selling our house in Branston and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Branston. We have lived in Branston for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I'm buying my first flat in Branston with a mortgage from Clydesdale. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with Clydesdale. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
