I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Mundesley. The Mundesley property was put into my name in August. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges 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. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is principally there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Mundesley. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of hinderance in Mundesley conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Mundesley.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Mundesley completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Mundesley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Mundesley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mundesley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mundesley may determine 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 residence.
We have been told by numerous estate agents that it can take six to eight weeks for Mundesley conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The draft contract was only forwarded to my conveyancer yesterday so does the time start running now?
Don't rely on moving on a certain date until contracts are exchanged. Whatever assurances the people you are buying from or selling to make, or your estate agent gives don't bank on them. More frustration is caused to buyers and sellers by false promises than anything else.
