I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Rogerstone. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this provision principally exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Can you point me to a directory of Lloyds panel conveyancers in Rogerstone on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings available over the internet. Where you are looking for a Rogerstone conveyancer on the Lloyds please use our tool.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Rogerstone building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Rogerstone conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer must follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
What does a local search tell me regarding the property my wife and I buying in Rogerstone?

I was recommended by numerous selling agents in Rogerstone to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your services over a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Rogerstone.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Can you set a few of distinct advantages to instructing a high street property lawyer in Rogerstone
Home movers in Rogerstone choose a local property lawyer so that they can attend the lawyer’s offices in the event that they have problems, and to sign paperwork rather than run the risk of relying on the Royal Mail.
There is a distinct edge when using a conveyancing practitioner local to the property you are planning to purchase, due to the familiarity of the locality and potential local concerns - yet this is moot. Most conveyancers conduct their work through email and could be almost anywhere.
