There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 instructions. These requirements are not unique to conveyancing in Clifton Village.

I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Clifton Village. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors 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 affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Planning on purchasing a house in Clifton Village. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Clifton Village lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Clifton Village I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Clifton Village for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
