I am the single recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Pound Hill. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this provision principally exists to capture subsales or the flipping of property.
is it true that all Pound Hill solicitor practices on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
Our sealed bid on a property in Pound Hill has been accepted, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Pound Hill. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Pound Hill conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Pound Hill.
I am buying a new build house in Pound Hill with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Pound Hill is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Pound Hill are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Pound Hill you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pound Hill 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 residence.
Your search tool is useful but there are many lawyers listed near Pound Hill being on the bank conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the mortgage company approved panel?

For example you may require a local firm with Pound Hill knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
