I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Langley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. 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." Technically you could be impacted by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this provision is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Langley conveyancer on the HSBC panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your HSBC mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being a right pain. The Langley solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am attracted to a two maisonettes in Langley which have about 50 years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

Why is New Build conveyancing in Langley more costly?
Acquiring a brand new premises is completely distinct from the standard house purchase conveyancing in Langley. For a start housebuilders ordinarily demand contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, the result being a a great deal of pressure on your conveyancer to make sure everything is in order. In addition new build conveyancing often necessitate examination of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage company requirements are also more demanding. Due to the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
