I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Wennington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded 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 requires solicitors 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 caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Virgin Money are being problematic. The Wennington solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Virgin Money are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Wennington has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Yorkshire BS or the financial adviser and finalise any outstanding paperwork. Yorkshire BS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Wennington.
How does conveyancing in Wennington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wennington approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Wennington usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Wennington or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Wennington. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Wennington. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum due for a lease extension?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Wennington conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Wennington residence is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case affected 13 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 76 years.
My husband and I have agreed a price on a Wennington house left to us 8 years ago in 2009. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing experience and, although retired, intend to conduct the conveyancing. The buyer's lawyer has informed me that their bank will not allow you to do your own conveyancing mandating that the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage instructions to property lawyers from all mainstream lenders state that If the vendor does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be informed so that a decision can be reached if they are willing to progress.
