I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Forestdale. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook instructs 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 lender as this clause is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Forestdale. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
You must advise Bank of Ireland in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Bank of Ireland will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. You need not do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel firm.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Kent Reliance are being pedantic. The Forestdale solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Forestdale is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Forestdale are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Forestdale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Forestdale may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I am purchasing a garden apartment in Forestdale. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the seller, building insurance schedule. I was told today I was advised that the vendor must forward the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why does my lawyer want to see the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been in hold for the previous three weeks…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Forestdale to discover Conveyancing in Forestdale in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire building - which is clearly preferable. Do check with your property lawyer but it would seem that your solicitor is attempting to verify that the entire building is insured. Insuring your apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance.
