I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Rowlands Gill. The Rowlands Gill property was put into my name in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this clause is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rowlands Gill solicitor - who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds 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 Rowlands Gill postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Rowlands Gill.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Rowlands Gill is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Rowlands Gill are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rowlands Gill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rowlands Gill may determine 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.
