I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in South Croydon. The South Croydon property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision chiefly exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Does a directory service exist listing Clydesdale panel solicitors in South Croydon on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings viewable over the internet. If you are in need of a South Croydon property lawyer on the Clydesdale please use our tool.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in South Croydon. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Shortly after, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
A friend recommended that where I am purchasing in South Croydon I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the South Croydon Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about South Croydon.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in South Croydon. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in South Croydon
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in South Croydon I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in South Croydon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
