I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Brynford. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates 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 could be affected by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this requirement chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
We had chosen solicitors with offices in Brynford on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Brynford conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Brynford. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Aldermore?
Your original mortgage agreement with Aldermore will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Aldermore will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. You need not do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel firm.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Brynford I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brynford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Brynford. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
