I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Nuneaton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this provision primarily exists to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Nuneaton. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
You must advise Yorkshire BS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel lawyer.
I have instructed a Nuneaton property lawyer having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Nuneaton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Nuneaton for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Nuneaton conveyancing specialists.
Developers have suggested I use a lawyer and I've obtained a quote from them. It's almost £300 cheaper than my own Nuneaton property lawyer. Should I use them?
Housebuilders frequently have panels of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s documentation and conveyancing practitioner. As many developers offer an incentive to choose their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Nuneaton lawyer.
