I am the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Wymondham. The Wymondham property was put into my name in September. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
Is there a list of UBS panel solicitors in Wymondham on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

We had instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Wymondham on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Coventry BS but by your Wymondham conveyancer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Should our conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Wymondham.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Wymondham. There are those who acquire a house in Wymondham, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Wymondham. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the seller to find out if the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s solicitors may also conduct an enviro report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Wymondham
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Wymondham conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
I only have Seventy years remaining on my flat in Wymondham. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the lessor. In some cases an enquiry agent may be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Wymondham.
