My lawyer has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Grahame Park?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Grahame Park. The Grahame Park property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges 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 might be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Grahame Park. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Grahame Park lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

I am buying a new build house in Grahame Park with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Grahame Park is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Grahame Park are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Grahame Park 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 Grahame Park may ascertain 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.
Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold house in Grahame Park. Conveyancing and Godiva Mortgages Ltd mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Grahame Park who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Grahame Park conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
