I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Dinas Powys. The Dinas Powys property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Dinas Powys solicitor on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I've digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Dinas Powys solicitor - who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Dinas Powys postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Dinas Powys.
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of stalling in Dinas Powys conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

How and when do I pay stamp duty due for my purchase in Dinas Powys?
