Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Trimdon

As someone not used to the Trimdon conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Trimdon

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Trimdon or throughout County Durham is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes the bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Trimdon is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above the other parties in the conveyancing process.

My grandmother passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Trimdon. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £4500. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Yorkshire BS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?

Where you intend to refinance then Yorkshire BS will require that you use a conveyancer on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Yorkshire BS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Trimdon. The Trimdon property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

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. Some lenders would take a practical view as this requirement is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.

I'm spending time looking at flats in Trimdon and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Co-operative.

As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Trimdon concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
