I am the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Horbury. The Horbury property was put into my name in May. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates 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 could be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement primarily exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We had appointed solicitors based in Horbury on the Skipton solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for handling the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Skipton but by your Horbury property lawyer. Some firms on the Skipton panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We expect to receive a DIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Horbury solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Horbury solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
My partner and I are planning on selling our house in Horbury and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Horbury. Having lived in Horbury for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of 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 ailment)

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
