Having sold my house in Riding Mill last April yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours to moan that his solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Following your sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion steps just for conveyancing in Riding Mill.
I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Riding Mill. The Riding Mill property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs 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. Some lenders would take a practical view as this requirement principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
When it comes to lenders such as Lloyds, do Riding Mill conveyancers incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Riding Mill solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Riding Mill house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Riding Mill.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Riding Mill?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Riding Mill. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
