I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Keelby. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 may be affected by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this requirement is principally there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
My wife and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Kent Reliance as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Keelby. Do we need to choose a local Keelby solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Kent Reliance would not normally require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance list.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Keelby. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?
Given that your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Keelby.
What can a local search tell me about the house my wife and I purchasing in Keelby?
Keelby conveyancing often commences with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company such as Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Keelby conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search should supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Keelby?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Keelby. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm purchasing a new build house in Keelby benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Keelby I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Keelby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
