I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Hanham. The Hanham property was put into my name in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this obligation is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Can I be sure that the Hanham conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hanham getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Hanham conveyancer having checked that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Hanham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Hanham.
2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Hanham completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
