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 Edwinstowe. The Edwinstowe property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs 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 impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Edwinstowe building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Edwinstowe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Edwinstowe is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
