What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Forty Hill

Do not opt for the lowest Forty Hill conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

I'm the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Forty Hill. The Forty Hill property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook instructs 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 might be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, TSB are being difficult. The Forty Hill solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

The reason why TSB 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.
