I am the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bognor Regis. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
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." Technically you might be impacted by that. Most mortgage companies would take a practical view as this provision is principally there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Bognor Regis. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bognor Regis and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Bognor Regis
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Bognor Regis conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures set by head office.
