I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Finchley. The Finchley property was put into my name in February. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges 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 clause primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Finchley conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Skipton?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Skipton conducted the survey? Have you informed Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Finchley. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £200. Soon after, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Finchley for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Finchley conveyancing specialists.
I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Finchley prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a mortgage on such a property.
