It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Tibshelf. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Tibshelf involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Tibshelf. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers 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 mortgage company as this clause is principally there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We expect to receive a OIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Tibshelf solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Tibshelf solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Tibshelf. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. 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 Tibshelf property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
