I'm the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Ripponden. The Ripponden property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers 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. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I have instructed a Ripponden property lawyer having checked that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC 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. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Ripponden postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Ripponden.
Our sealed bid on a property in Ripponden has been accepted, the owners do however have a connected purchase. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Ripponden. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Ripponden conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Ripponden.
Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of delay in Ripponden house deals. Is this right?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Ripponden is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Ripponden are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ripponden you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ripponden may ascertain 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.
