My fiancee and I are purchasing our first home. Our property lawyer has e-mailedto check if we wish to order additional conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's needed for conveyancing in Wombourne
The type of Wombourne conveyancing searches should be triggered based primarily on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What matters is that you properly understand what information the searches could give you. You may then decide if you personally think you need that information. If unsure, ask the solicitor to offer guidance.
I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Wombourne. The Wombourne property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this provision primarily exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
How can we know in advance if a Wombourne conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?

We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.
The mortgage over my property is with Nottingham for my property in Wombourne. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending 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 Nottingham?
Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’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 Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel lawyer.
