I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Finchley. The Finchley property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this requirement is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.
I am expecting a OIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Finchley solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Finchley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being difficult. The Finchley solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I'm buying my first flat in Finchley with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
