I'm the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Holmfirth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML 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 might be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

Our offer on a house in Holmfirth has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Holmfirth. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Holmfirth conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to proceed with searches.
The deeds to our house are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Holmfirth 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

If copies are not available, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the premises.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Holmfirth. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Holmfirth who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Holmfirth conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I acquired a 2 bed flat in Holmfirth, conveyancing having been completed in 2011. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Holmfirth with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2089
With 63 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
