We are planning to move property in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Wigston. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent but this should only be done once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Wigston or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Wigston.
I am the sole recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Wigston. The Wigston property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Wigston. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Barclays must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel firm.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Wigston 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
You no longer need to have the physical deeds to evidence that you own the land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Wigston I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wigston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
