I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Shenley. The Shenley property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors 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. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
My husband and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Coventry BS as we intend to carry out renovations to our home in Shenley. Do we need to select a nearby Shenley solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Coventry BS do not ordinarily instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Barclays are being pedantic. The Shenley solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when acquiring a property in Shenley? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that homeowners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Shenley?
Unless a prior acquisition of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you can assume that solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Shenley to continue to propose a a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
I'm buying a new build house in Shenley with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
