I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Pensysarn. The Pensysarn property was put into my name in December. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires 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 could be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Pensysarn off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Pensysarn conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Nationwide approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market.

It is not completely unheard of in Pensysarn and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Pensysarn 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Pensysarn conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Pensysarn do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

How is the lease structured? In the main the outlay for major works tend not to be incorporated into the maintenance charges, although some managing agents in Pensysarn ask leaseholders to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. Is anyone aware of any major works anticipated that will increase the service costs?
