Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sands End

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Sands End. The Sands End property was put into my name in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The CML 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 might be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

is it true that all Sands End conveyancing solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nationwide approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Sands End solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
