I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cemaes Bay. The Cemaes Bay property was put into my name in December. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs 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. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is primarily there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Are all Cemaes Bay Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
I currently have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Cemaes Bay. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
Your original mortgage agreement with Bank of Ireland will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let 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 Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel firm.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Cemaes Bay and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Cemaes Bay. Having lived in Cemaes Bay for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 sickness)

If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Cemaes Bay conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Cemaes Bay conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus.
