I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Frampton Cotterell. The Frampton Cotterell property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. 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 may be impacted by that. Most mortgage companies would take a practical view as this provision primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
How does conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Frampton Cotterell come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Frampton Cotterell tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell or who has acted in the same development.
Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Frampton Cotterell basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Frampton Cotterell conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Frampton Cotterell do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
