Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Yarmouth will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of changes or need the permission of another owner.

I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Yarmouth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires 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 caught by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this provision is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I was pointed in your direction by a couple of local estate agents in Yarmouth to choose a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any commission for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a residential purchase having been directed to a firm by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Yarmouth. I am not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?

Your new conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid escalating charges and delays. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.

Me and my wife have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Tuesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancers then we will incur an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to select a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked Nationwide to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
You should ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please use our search tool and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Yarmouth on the panel for Nationwide.
