I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Darton. The Darton property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. 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." Technically you might be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
Can you point me to a directory of TSB panel conveyancers in Darton on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings viewable online. If you are looking for a Darton conveyancer on the TSB please make the most of our facility.
My fiancee and I are at the point of looking at houses in Darton and I am about to put in an offer. Is it sensible to have my solicitor on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a home loan with TSB.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
A relative advised me that where I am buying in Darton I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Darton conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Darton around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Darton Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Darton Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Darton.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Darton benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Are there frequently found deficiencies that you encounter in leases for Darton properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Darton is not unique. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

You could encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage.
