I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Hilperton. The Hilperton property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates 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 might be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
We were going to get a AIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Hilperton solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Hilperton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being problematic. The Hilperton solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale 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.
My partner and I are selling our home in Hilperton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hilperton. Having lived in Hilperton for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
