I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bampton. The Bampton property was put into my name in July. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges 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 impacted by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this obligation is chiefly there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Bampton conveyancing lawyers have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from HSBC?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have HSBC done the valuation? Have you informed HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Bampton. I have a mortgage offer with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Bampton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bampton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Bampton tend to acquire the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Bampton or who has acted in the same development.
