What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Lymington?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Lymington and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Lymington should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a worrying emergence in the "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your lawyer ahead of the other parties in the home moving process.

Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Lymington will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or need the consent of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Lymington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I now wish to sell up.

Will no one buy the property for half a year?
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 may be impacted by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is primarily there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Lymington bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Lymington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The lawyer has to comply with the CML Handbook section two requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
