I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Beacon Hill. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Beacon Hill off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nationwide. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have 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 Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Beacon Hill. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Shortly after, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Beacon Hill?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Beacon Hill. 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…’
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Beacon Hill
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. 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 finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Beacon Hill conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
