I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in South Harrow. The South Harrow property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
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 might be caught by that. many banks would take a practical view as this requirement chiefly exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
is it true that all South Harrow conveyancing solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I'm at the point of looking at houses in South Harrow and I am about to put in an offer. Is it advisable to have a property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with HSBC.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
I am buying a house and the lawyer has referenced Chancel Repair to which the house may be obligated to contribute to given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has suggested insurance. Is this really warranted for conveyancing in South Harrow

I'm purchasing a new build house in South Harrow benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Am I right to be wary about brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm rather than a local South Harrow conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are numerous parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may put forward conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
