Me and my wife are buying property in Tintagel. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to use my Tintagel conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel?
Your options include
- Carry on with your chosen Tintagel conveyancing practitioner but your lender will undoubtedly instruct a conveyancing practitioner from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional cost together with potential delay.
- Choose a fresh solicitor to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the bank’s panel of solicitors
I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Tintagel. The Tintagel property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs 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 may be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
We had instructed conveyancers locally in Tintagel on the Virgin Money solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further charge for dealing with the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Virgin Money but by your Tintagel solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Virgin Money panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Tintagel. I have a mortgage offer with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Tintagel?
Conveyancing - in Tintagel or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects prior to you complete your move.
