I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Yaxley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might 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.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as TSB, do Yaxley conveyancers incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Is there a list of Clydesdale panel conveyancers in Yaxley on the Building Society Association’s Website?

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Yaxley?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Yaxley. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Yaxley I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Yaxley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Yaxley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Yaxley, conveyancing was carried out January 1999. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Yaxley with a long lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2081
With 56 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
