I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in West Bridgford. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Nationwide as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our home in West Bridgford. Are we obliged to select a high street West Bridgford solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Nationwide do not ordinarily require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in West Bridgford for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of West Bridgford conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in West Bridgford benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. 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.
I have been advised by a number of property agents in West Bridgford to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Am I best advised to instruct a West Bridgford conveyancing practitioner based in the area that I am hoping to buy? An old friend can perform the conveyancing however his firm is located approximately 350miles away.
The primary upside of using a high street West Bridgford conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were impressed that should trump using an unknown West Bridgford conveyancing lawyer just because they are West Bridgford based.
