My lawyer in Plasmarl is not listed on the Bank of Ireland Approved Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Bank of Ireland panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

- Find an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Bank of Ireland approved.
- Try to convince your Bank of Ireland based solicitor to attempt to join the Bank of Ireland panel
I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Plasmarl. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
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 might be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Plasmarl conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for Principality to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality conducted the survey? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Plasmarl off the council. I have a mortgage offer with HSBC. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have 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 HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Plasmarl differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Plasmarl contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Plasmarl tend to 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 Plasmarl or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Plasmarl I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Plasmarl suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
