I'm the only beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Immingham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Do I have to wait 6 months 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 may be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
Is it the case that all Immingham conveyancing solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the CLC.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Immingham. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Immingham I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Immingham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
I was recommended by numerous selling agents in Immingham to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Immingham. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Immingham - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

For most Immingham leaseholds the outlay for major works are not included within service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Immingham obliged leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance. Does the lease include onerous restrictions? It is important to be aware if fixing the lift or some other significant cost is anticipated to be shared by the leasehold owners and will materially impact the level of the maintenance fees or require a specific payment.
