My house in Rossett is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Rossett. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. 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." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is chiefly there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as RBS, do Rossett solicitors incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Rossett is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Rossett conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
