My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in East and West Horsley. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Birmingham Midshires conveyancing panel. Can you advise?
The first thing to do is e-mail the conveyancer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise please call Birmingham Midshires who may be able to help.
I am the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in East and West Horsley. The East and West Horsley property was put into my name in September. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Can I be sure that the East and West Horsley conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?
