I happen to be the sole recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Hythe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this provision is chiefly there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Are all Hythe Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Hythe solicitor - who is on the UBS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS 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 solicitor 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 Hythe postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Hythe.
