As someone clueless as to the Moreton conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Moreton
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Moreton or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Moreton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Moreton. The Moreton property was put into my name in August. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is principally there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
My husband and I are in the process of looking at flats in Moreton and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this stage? I intend to finance via a home loan with Virgin Money.
It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Moreton accepted, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Moreton. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with RBS?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Moreton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the RBS approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Moreton.
How does conveyancing in Moreton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Moreton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Moreton typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Moreton or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Moreton is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Moreton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Moreton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Moreton may decide 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 premises.
