I'm the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Manor House. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is principally there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Manor House. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £225. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Just acquired a terraced house in Manor House , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Manor House conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Manor House registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Manor House is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Manor House are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Manor House you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Manor House may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Manor House. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Manor House - 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.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Manor House conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to calculate the price payable.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Manor House property is 51 Lorne Road in November 2009. The price Payable as decided by the tribunal for the freehold reversion was £27,000. The valuation follows the order of the County Court made on 3 April 2008 granting a vesting order. This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 71 years.
