My husband and I are acquiring a brand new duplex in Winton and my solicitor is telling me that she has to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the seller. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Winton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
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 may be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
